girl name advice?

Josie vs. Geneva?

Do you have any middle name suggestions for either/both? I'm really not into more traditional names like Elizabeth or Catherine or the likes, and that's usually the style I get from babyname generator websites.

What do you think of the name Cambria Sterling Ward (f)?

Final question, what are your thoughts on using two MNs? Are there tips or trends that I should be aware of?

My middle name is Jo and people in my family used to lengthen it to Josephine, to kind of make fun of it I guess? I always hated it for that reason. Anyway, I want to use Jo [because it's also my mother's middle name] in some form, but couldn't think of other names besides Josephine [or at least I've yet to find any that I like] that have Josie as a nn.

josie is our number one girls name, its just a matter of agreeing on a longer version. we are debating josephine vs josette. :)

we also pondered josiane, and johanna.

Josie doesn't feel like a full name to me. Josie is a nice nickname for either Jocelyn, Josephine, or Josephina.

I like Geneva.

I'm not fond of Sterling on a female and I don't really like Cambria either.

I don't mind two middle names.

Geneva!

Josie sounds so old-fashioned to me...but I do realize that's a personal opinion.

Geneva Noelle
Geneva Elise
Geneva Lucille
Geneva Selene
Geneva Christine
Geneva Louise
Geneva Simone
Geneva Camille
Geneva Estelle
Geneva Felice

It's not my style, but Cambria Sterling Ward flows wonderfully.
Personally, I think using two middle names is no problem at all. Where I'm from, a lot of people do it, so I'm used to it.

I like Josie/Josette/Josephine better, mostly because I don't like place names or the Gen/Genny nicknames. I like Ginny better than Genny/Jenny so I'd vote for Ginevra over Geneva.

Cambria Sterling Ward sounds like a character in an American pulp novel with a British heroine. It flows wonderfully...a little too wonderfully. It sounds like a stage name I guess!

I kind of agree Cambria Sterling sounds like a fictitious name. It's pretty, IMO, but I am starting to think maybe I should use either Cambria or Sterling instead of two more different-styled names like that together. You make a good point.

I'm having trouble picking between the two because, while I think Josie is cute, I, too, see it as more of a nickname. However, I don't particularly care for Geneva.

I'll try for some non-classic middle names here...
Josie J/Gillian
Josie Rain
Josie Auburn
Josie River
Josie Morena

Geneva Juniper
Geneva Felicity
Geneva Helena
Geneva Saffron
Geneva Summer

Cambria Sterling Ward sounds great, but I'm not so keen on the names themselves. Cambria isn't really my thing and Sterling is masculine to me.

I like one or two middle names.

I really like Josie Rain, Josie Auburn, and Josie River. Thanks!

I'm glad you liked some of my suggestions. Also, your icon never fails to captivate me. XD
