I am having a hard time with this one! Willa is one of those names that I feel like I should hate but I don't... I actually kinda like it. I would never use it, but on someone else's kid I find it kind of cute.
I love Josephine (the nn Josie is adorable).
Overall I give it a 7. I LOVE your other daughter's names. Very classy. Willa seems a little out there compared to Elizabeth and Clara. Have you considered using Josephine as a first name??
i love willa [well, i love german names in general] but i'm thinking it might get more popular over the next few years. it's one of those underused old names that sounds new and cute so i think a lot of people are starting to like it more.

I actually REALLY like it! My great grandmother's name was Willa and my dad's mom's name was Josephine....I have been wondering on and off if I would have the guts to name my daughter (should I have one) Willa. I really do like it a lot!
I love Josephine, but I really don't like Willa. That said, if our baby is a girl we will be naming her Willow (at least that's what we think now lol). Willow is still super rare (like number 450 on the charts) but to me sounds a little more grown up than Willa. Just a thought, and good luck deciding!
OMG, those are my grandmother's names. I love Josephine and even considered Willa and Willow as first names. But together they just seemed like too much.
My husband's (unused) first name is William so I like Willa. I also like Willow. I think it goes well with Josephine. Classy but not common. Go for it!

I really like Willa, and I love Josephine (especially as a middle name). The combo is awesome too!
A friend of mine had a baby last November and named her Willa Adrianna which I thought was pretty.
The name Willa took awhile to grow on me but I'm starting to like it more.
I realyl don't like Willa. It just says "old lady" to me.
