I like that Josie is a feminine version of Joseph or Josiah. Both are influential people in the Bible. I’m also a huge fan of Joanne Gaines but felt like her name was a little dated. Josie Ann sounds a bit more upbeat and modern. Reply Kat May 18 at 5:44 pm I love it! It’s super cute and I love Josephine for the full name. Reply Josie May 2 at 8:14 pm Me and my husband fell in love with it from the Steely Dan song “when Josie comes home” We almost added a third kid because we love the name so much but now I’m pushing for it as my son is expecting a daughter in August And of course the meaning “Jehovah increases”? Reply Jenna Jan 19 at 4:57 pm Josie Joy! Reply Leslie Oct 1 at 6:22 am I picked Josie , because my godmother name is Josephine josie for short and she passed away a yr ago Reply Katie Jul 20 at 10:17 am We chose the name Josie because we just KNEW it was the name the first time we heard it. We also liked the meaning – God will add Reply Josie Oct 10 at 9:56 am I am called Josie. I think it’s a great name. I have lots of nicknames Jos, Jojo. But my name is pronounced Jo see Not Jo zee! Reply Melissa Jun 10 at 9:24 am We picked the name Josie from a random list of girl names we saw online. But we fell in love with it because I was asking my husband what her nickname would be and he said “JoJo?” and then my two year old son hearing this was walking around saying “JoJo? JoJo?”, it was so cute that it sealed it for us. Also the name comes from “Josephine” which means, “God provides,” which we love. Reply Tara Apr 23 at 11:23 pm ‘God will Add’…lovely name for a blessing when others may wonder why you would have ‘another baby’.
