I think it's really pretty :) And I oddly like it with August!

I think Amaya is a beautiful name, and it sounds nice with Josephine. Not too big on August but it's a solid name.

I'm not crazy about Amaya, but it does sound really nice with Josephine. I love Josephine and August is pretty great too.

Amaya just makes me think of the blonde girl from Real World Hawaii. Josephine's ok.
I really hate when people give their kids the same initials, it annoys me so damn much.

Amaya is nms, but I like it in this case. I love Josephine, and it all flows well, but the 2 names clash to me. I'm not a fan of August, but love his middle names and they do work well together. Thought out and good decisions :)

His name is so, so much better than hers. Amaya is horrible.
