Thoughts?

So I posted a while back (sadly my Bumping time has cut down drastically the last few months) on how I kind of love Josephine.  DH isn't in love with it but is willing to postpone vetoing it going on the list, allowing it to marinate in his brain since I like it so much. He did request that no matter what, it be a mn spot which is fine since our last name is so long.  But I thought of Willa Josephine the other day and he said he might like it since it pairs a newer, fresher name with a classic "old lady name."  Needless to say, he vetoed Dorothy Josephine, lol.  So I'm coming to you all.  Give me your thoughts on it.  Thanks.

Willa Josephine is really lovely, although Willa isn't such a "new" name... Just don't tell your H!

Haha.  If he wants to go on thinking its new he's welcome to since he doesn't like SO many names out there.

I think it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm much more partial to Willa than Dorothy, and Josephine is beautiful.

I really think it's cute!

 

I've always liked Willa. And Josephine is classic, so no issues there.

it still sounds "old" without really sounding old... does that make sense? i guess i mean it sounds like a classic name that will age well. i dig it. and it kind of reminds me of william joseph, which could be a good boy name lol.

I think it flows well and don't mind it. I like Willow better than Willa though.
