LOVE Alexander, Henry, James, Oliver and Beckett (that's my hamster's name!).

I also like Benjamin (not Ben), Dean, Edward, Finn, Jack, Nathan, Nathaniel, Beatrix and Sophie.

I really like Hero- but I agree, it's a total guilty pleasure.

I love Valerian.

Seren is really pretty. Not cheesy at all.

I'm not sure about Josie on its own, but then, I'm not that fond of it to begin with. It's not very similar to Joanna at all, unless your sister shortens it to Jo.

I love Jack, Logan, Julian, Oliver, Hugh, hilip, Phineas, Blue (guilty pleasure for me too ;)) and Viggo (although this might just be a little too Italian).
For girls I like Carys, Alanna (although I prefer it with one 'n') and Alexa.
IMO, you can Josie on it's own. Why name a kid something you don't like, just because you can get a good nickname out of it? ;)
Also, Ophelia is still gorgeous=)
