Help[Opinions] Re: Iseppa
in reply to a message by Felie
I actually like Giuseppina :) I also like Rosa, your other grandma's name a lot.
I love both Joséphine and also the English Josephine. In Austria we also use Josefine and Josefin. Josefine is often pronounced with three syllables and Josefin with two. But Josefin always looked a bit incomplete to me. I also know a girl named Josefina who was named after her dad Josef.
I think Joséphine makes a really great middle name :) I don't think Joséphine is trashy at all. It is a classic in France :) It wasn't used much for a long time and is now making a comeback :)
About Italy I am not sure. I think Italians don't use many foreign names, right? I can think of Nicole, Jessica and a few others that were popular in Italy but not of too many. Are those perceived as trashy? If yes, maybe this is just because they are/were so common?
As for Joséphine I can tell you that it is a classic in England, France, Austria, Germany, Belgium etc. it is a good choice. In Italy I know that the J doesn't really exist in the language but you have other J names too such as Jolanda (I have a friend named this from Italy) so I think people won't have a problem with this. If in Italy mostly names of TV/Soap characters are seen as tacky as in Austria then I think Joséphine is not tacky. It isn't one of those ditzy names like Brittni or Heavenlee or something. I think it would be fine :)
Do you think Lily would be perceived as trashy in Italy? I've been wondering about that. I would like to know that. How Italians would think of this in general. Is it hard to say or does it sound weird/silly?
Thank you :) I always like talking to you :)
