Josephine is lovely and regal 🙂 A fantastic choice! I went to school with 2, and she’s my brother’s ex-girlfriend, as well as a name of a great aunt.. I’ve met quite a few more in passing as well. Anyway, as much as I like Josephine, I dislike Josie a lot. (Bad associations!)
I prefer Josephine Poppy over Jospehine Aurelia, as I find JA a little bit too much, as both are such regal, feminine names. (Though I don’t mind Aurelia Josephine?) Poppy seems to bring a buoyancy and zest to Josephine that I really like!
My favourite 3-name combo would have to be Josephine Adella Ruby, Josephine Ivy Magdalene or Josephine Ottilie Eve or Josephine Cora Jane 🙂
Josephine Adella Ruby feels luch and feminine and lovely, with J’s regality, Adella’s femininity and Ruby’s fresh cheeriness!
Josephine Ivy Magdalene is much more subdued, but still rather ‘heavy’. I don’t usually like Magdelene, but Ivy freshens the combo up a bit with her lighter feel, to me.
Josephine Ottilie Eve is lovely and light, as Ottilie Eve brings a kind of free-spirited feel to counteract Josephine’s heavy regality.
And Josephine Cora Jane is just darling in her own little way 🙂
Sorry to be so indecisive! My faves would be Josephine Adella Ruby or Josephine Cora Jane, though I do like Josephine Ottilie—-, I think Eve is great there, I judt don’t like her very much!

Aww silly associations I love Josie!! I think you are right Josephine Aurelia is a bit too much, I do like Josephine Poppy Lola told me Poppy can be a nickname for Josephine though. My favourite is Josephine Adellla Ruby I think also really like Josephine Ottilie Eve 🙂 I don’t know whether I like Eve by itself either think I prefer Genevieve or Evelyn.

I’m not really a fan of Eve by itself, and prefer Genevieve and Evelyn generally, but Eve sits perfectly well in this combo – she grounds it a bit.

I started to like Eva after watching Wall e but gone off it again. That movie is so cute!
