That's a little 'different' but not horrible. I'd much prefer if Jo were a nn for something, like Josephine or Johanna, though. I have to say I prefer a nickname-y, somewhat masculine name like Jo over, say, Riley or Peyton, however. :)

I agree with these first three posts...it's such a "nickname" that what if she does want something more sophisticated or feminine sounding? To just have Jo seems so blunt, unfinished and masculine. She should have the choice to go by a shorter, "tom-boyish" name, not have that decided for her at birth. Whatever...we got her a blue Boppy.
