I adore the name Josephine. Before doing these name sites, I thought no one else but me could love this name. I was so happy to be wrong. Josephine bring to mind (1) the romance of Josephine and Napoleon; and (2) the jazz age fun maturing into civil right activism of Josephine Baker. There's so many levels of emotion for me in this name. Plus, it's just plain fun to say out loud.

I'm not crazy about the nn Josie, but it's not bad either. I've seen Sophie used as a nn -- all of the letters are contained in Josephine.

Josephina is sweet, although I would tend to spell it Josefina, the Spanish way.
