Reply Jenna Jan 19 at 4:57 pm Josie Joy!

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’.
