What do you guys think of this with nickname of Jem, and what middle name would go best?Sisters could either be Josephine True & Philomena Silver (nicknames Posy & Mena) or Keva Leonie & Davina October

I prefer to keep Jem as a male nn. But I love Jamesina and it's perky cousin Jacomina. :-)Josephine True, nn Posy -- Darling
Philomena Silver, nn Mena -- I adore Philomena and wish it were used more. Nn Mena is exotic and alluring.
Keva Leonie -- Keva isn't in the database? I thought it was listed as a variant of Caoimhe. Anyway, this combo only works for me with the French pronunciation of Leonie.
Davina October -- Davina never works for me becaues it makes me think the kid was named after the word divine. I know that's not the origin of the name. It's just a mental block I have. October feels klunky here in the combo, sorry.

I always have liked this, even if it is a little over-the-top looking. The only one I ever met (an old lady) pronounced it jay-mess-ee-na (not James-ina) and went by Jimmie, which I thought was cute. Jamesina gets thumbs up from me!
