Josephine + Middle Name?

SomersIslesSomersIsles member
in Baby Names
Per DH request... I was told to seek honest feedback on the name Josephine, should we have a baby girl.  Personally I love it and DH is warming up to it but he thinks the general public will think it's an ugly name? 

Thoughts? 

And, any suggestions on middle names?

Thanks :)

    I love Josephine and love all of the nn options such as Jo and Joey.

    Here are some mn options I think sound nice:
    Josephine Elise
    Josephine Hope
    Josephine Marie
    Josephine Brynn
    Josephine Elaine
    Josephine Anne
    Josephine Grace
    Josephine Mae
    Josephine Rose
    Josephine Claire


    I know, a lot of so-called fillers there, but I think they sound nice, and even more a bonus if any happen to be family names for you.

    I've never been the biggest fan of Josephine, BUT I would never side-eye it or think, "Ew, why would you name your kid that?" 

    I would still think it's beautiful and dignified. It just happens to not be my style.

    Ooh! I love Pearl!

    I was entertaining the middle name Viola (great grandmother). You kind of have to pause after the first name but I dunno.

    I'm totally sold on the first name :) now all we need is a girl! Haha

    I think DH is into it now :)
