Zéphine is pretty. I prefer it to the name Josephine. I love Cosette.

I like that..actually I love it as a nn for Josephine. I could see myself using it even.... Zéphie or Zéphine would be lovely!!

I actually found it in the submitted names a few days ago (thanks Adenydd for submitting it) while I was looking for a name for a newborn sim (she and her twin are now named Amoret and Zephine).I think it's pretty cool. Feels really modern but isn't, which I'm totally into.Not such a huge fan of Cosette but if I were to meet a little Cosette I'd probably be pretty pumped.

Hee, I submitted Zéphine to the BtN database a little while ago. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who took a liking for that name. I like it a lot better than Josephine and similiar-sounding names like Zephyrine. I think it's quite zippy.I don't like Cosette (the name) too much. It's just okay, nothing more, and I wouldn't use it myself. I would put it with Atticus in the hipsterish class of literary names. On the other hand, I do like the sounds of Eponine, Marius, and Grantaire (though Grantaire is his surname if I recall correctly). If I ever got a grey cat I think I would name him Grantaire.

Zephine is interesting. I like it a lot more than Josephine. Cosette is not my style. Too frilly.
