I love the nicknames that will show up for Jospehine, actually (Jo, Joey, etc). And, it's part of why we love Elizabeth, too (besides the fact that it's both our mother's names). I like giving a person options for later in life. Whatever they personally prefer. Natalie has cute shorter versions, too (Nat, Natty...my friend called her neighbor Nat Nat). Clara is the only one I can't think of a nickname for.
I never thought of it that way. I actually prefer names that can't be changed into nicknames easily.
