"I meet a lot of people named josie like me. It?s kinda cool. A lot of my friends get me mixed up with my friend joely. Lol" Nov. 18, 2020:

"My name is Josie and right now am just a normal school kid i have a lot of friends you treat me nice but honestly i still don't know how i got the name Josie but i love the name" Nov. 13, 2017: 
"I'm a Josie alright. I mean I love this name a lot. It's really unique! I pronounce it like Jozie but when people say my name for the first time they pronounce it while carrying the s! Oh i cant stand that! and I definitely can't stand it when someone calls me Joey, Jose, Jessie, or even Joseph! Also i'm form the south so I say it with a accent too!" Sep. 14, 2015: 
"My real name is Josephine, but I have gone by Josie all my life and hardly ever respond to Josephine. My parents always said JOSEE not JOZEE, so that's what I say, but my sister says JOZEE. That kind of gets on my nerves. I never correct people if they say JOZEE but if someone asks me which one, I tell them. A lot of people I know don't know the difference, though. I don't like being called Joey, Jo, or Jose. I really like my name, but since it's not so common, it's never on the personlized name keychains, pens, cups, or whatever people sell." Sep. 11, 2015: 
"I LOVE the name Josie! The only problem anybody has ever had with it is spelling. Everyone thinks it's Josy. Anybody else have this problem? Well, anyway, I get SOOOOO mixed up! I am homeschooled and go with my little siblings to children's museums all the time, and there are a TON of two year olds named josie! Soooooo confusing!" Feb. 11, 2015: 
"well...my name is josie lee .my experiences with it is that.it is a wonderful name to have it makes yo sound sweet and sassy.no i dont no an one with the same name.who cares what those harters say im 20 years old and i love it so much that i would i whould never change it;0" Dec. 22, 2014: 
"It's my name as well and I absolutely love it, mainly because it's not very common. The one thing that annoys me is how people pronounce it - it has an S in it not a Z so it's pronounced JO-SEE!!! Seriously why don't people get this? I correct anyone who pronounces it Jo-zee or any other way they say it. Is it so hard to understand? Anyway, it's a great name." Nov. 21, 2014: 
"I named my daughter Josie in 2008, at that time I really only ever knew one girl EVER named Josie, and we say it JOZEE , I can't stand it when people use Jo-c , annoying, or ask if it's shortened, nope it's just Josie, well actually we call her Josie posie, her uncle jokes an says jos? like a Mexican man , but even she gets the joke at age 6 !!! Fantastic name!!" Nov. 10, 2014: 
"my name is Josie and i don't know a SINGLE person with my name. my real name is Jocelyn but people just call me Josie because its cute. personally i like Jocelyn and Josie there both really cute names. if i were to change my name i wouldn't be able to think of anything that suits me." Oct. 5, 2014: 
"Ive only known one person with my name. Most people spell it wrong josy joise jose josi josey. People also pronounce it differently" Aug. 16, 2014: 
"My real name is Josephine but I like Josie way better. It is pronounced Jo-see. I have had lots of people mispell it. Josea, Jose, Josey, Josii, and more. I hate when it is pronounced Jozee. I have met some people with the name but not a lot. Michelle Duggar named her baby Josie!" Jul. 30, 2014: 
"My daughter's name is Josie, and we pronounce it "Jo-zee". I actually hadn't heard of the "Jo-see" pronunciation until after we named her. I compare the pronunciation to the name "Rosie", which is most commonly pronounced "Ro-zee" and not "Ro-see"." Jul. 23, 2013: 
"My name is Josie, not short short for the more usual name Josephine. Sometimes having the name Josie is awkward. For instance whenever the adults pronounce my name "jozie" I just think that make the adults sound like a French, trust fund turd! Seriously! And also the usual "Jose" or the weird, original "Jossie"the awkward sounding of the s. so, overall, in the right context, I like that name cause it's unusual, special, and suits me well!" May. 8, 2013: 
"My Name is josieanna but every one calls me Josie I have grown to accept Josie and the pussy cats and any other Josie nick name that floats my way . My mom picked this name for me and it is special to me in ways no one can ever think my name is Josie and its a great name" Mar. 8, 2013: 
"Well, my name is Josie. Nickname for Josephine. Since I just got to a new school, my new friends have taken to calling me, Jo, Josephina, and other forms like that. It doesn't bother me, I respond to all of them. Also, one of my friends calls me Jose, I guess its okay. I used to be called Hosea, so yeah. haha. And it doesn't matter how people say it, I really don't mind as long as you DON'T call me Joseph, even though that was supposed to be my name if I was a boy. haha" Feb. 12, 2013: 
"My name is Josie. Yay so many Josie here. I have yet met anyone name Josie. I hate it when people pronounce the j as a h like spanish guy name. On my graduation, the announcer pronounce my name as J(h)ose. My teacher called me and my friend "Josie and the Pussycat". lol" Sep. 25, 2012: 
"my name is also Josie, i agree with everyone about how teahcers or people who don't know you very well call you 'JO ZEE' it frustrates me so much! like seriously no 'Z' in my name at all. i love my name, glad to have it, unique and special :)" Jul. 9, 2012: 
"My name is Josie. It's a nickname for Josette which is french, and contrary to earlier posts is NOT pronounced with a Z! Josette is properly pronounced either as Jo-Set (with a hard J) or Zho-set (soft J). NO Z sound in the middle. I like my name, even though some people say joZie instead. It's becomeing much more popular now." Jul. 17, 2011: 
"I think Josie is a great name. My name ain't Josie but Josie is one of my favourite names. apparently Josie is the 941st Most Popular name" Apr. 16, 2011: 
"My name is spelled Josie but pronounced Jo-zee...i get more annoyed when people pronounce it Jo-see, i mean I guess it doesn't fit the spelling but ALL JOSIES ROCK WHETHER THEY'RE THE S OR Z KIND LOL IM CRAZY WELL ALL JOSIES ARE ;) so yeah...good name! Really cute" Mar. 6, 2011:

"My name is Josie as well, and I have to say that although it is an unsual name, I wouldn't change it for the world!Many people think my name is josephine but only one person calls me it. I have now developed a nick name of Josie-Joe. I think there should be more Josie's in the world!" Jan. 23, 2011: 
"My daughter had a little girl last Sunday and has named her Josie with a C sound not a Zee. I think it's the sweetest name :-)" Nov. 1, 2010:

"I named my daughter Josie, back in 1987. I first heard of the name in the movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy". George Cohen's sister was named Josephine, but he always called her Josie (half with the Jozee pronounciation in the film) and i fell in love with the name! We've always pronunced it Josie and she spent half her early childhood infuriated at those who put the 'zee' spin on it. She just gave birth the the most perfect little girl in the world, Audrey Louise!
Well done, my Josie girl!" Jul. 22, 2010: 
"my name is josie isobel, and i love it:)
My friends mostly call me Jos (Jowse) and i like my name because its pretty and unique and i think that the name suits me well:) Its not too old or new (but whatever you do, dont call your kid Josaphine, because the amount of kids ive met (Im a teen) that have said.. Oh my gran's called Josaphine gets pretty annoying, and it makes me sound old...)
Although, Sometimes people pronounce it jo-ZEEE and it drives me crazy.

I hate when people pronounce my name Jose of Jo-C becuase HELLO my name is spelt with a Z how much more blatant could my parents have made it! I don't know how they mix it up!
I think that no one is ever going to get our names right...as long as we live...and we will always be called Josie and the pussy cats...whither we like it of not.

"My name is Josie, and of course I love my name!!
I have always liked my name, never wanted to be an Ashley or Emily, but it's sooo annoying when people pronounce it Jo-Z! It's obviously spelled with a S, so why would you pronounce it with a Z? My full name is Jocelyn, and I have only met one other girl who had the same name and nickname. I also hate the analogy to Josie and the Pussycats. YUCK!! A lot of people call me Jos for short... It's fun having a unique name, at least at the moment!!" Sep. 6, 2008:

Poeple call me Joe for short, but my dad says jose, and my grampy calls me josie-posie. some people pernounce my name with S and others wiith the Z, so im not quite sure how your suposed to say it.. but OVERALL, it rocks peoples socks when they meet me, though i've never met anyone with the same name, the closest was Josýe-ann or josianne... but my middle name is ann. lol, anyways.. this name is awesome, and for the people with it, WE'LL ALWAYS BE THE UNIQUE ONES! :D" Aug. 15, 2008: 
"My name is Josie & I love my name. It is pronounced Jo-cee, not Jo-zee, but I don't get too annoyed when people get it wrong (most get it right). I was born in 1968 and it was a very unusual name when I was growing up, but it is becoming more popular now. I teach 2nd grade and I've seen several little girls named Josie come through our school in just the past few years." Jul. 28, 2008:

"My name is Josie (Jo-Z), and I love it. I used to think that I'm the only Josie in the world. When someone reads my name for the first time, they pronounce it Jose. People always laugh and I'm embarrassed. I hate it, but I've learned to love my name somewhat. You guys are all making me feel so much better about my name. THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Jul. 11, 2008: 
"My name is Jossianny, and i go by Jossi (Like Jo-Z) for short.Sometimes my friends just call me "jos". Ive always just gone by jossi since jossianny is kinda odd and for some reason people always go " did you say jossianna?" which is rather annoying.Funny because you think it would be easier once it was just jossi but even then people still say it wrong. Ever since i was younger i would tell my mom that i was going to legally change it to
"Josie" since it would just be easier and that way maybe people didnt pronounce it Jocie you know like hosey? which i dont get.The main reason for wanting to change it was that as long as i can remember i hated the fisrt day of class because in every single period the teacher would pause stare at the roll call sheet and then go " jocieann?" and then i would say that i go buy just Josie and the teacher would then say " Oooo like josie and the pussycats and laugh as if ive never heard that one before. but now i figure its unique and i dont think ill change it. Ive never met another person named Jossianny or just plain josie for that matter. And to think that my mom only named me that because she heard it in a spanish soap , and liked the way it sounded." Jun. 10, 2008: 
"My name's Josie too and I love it! I've only ever met one other Josie in my life! I was the only Josie in my primary and secondary schools and I'm the only Josie in my college! I love having a unique name :D It is annoying about the merchandise thing...the closest I ever came was 'Jose' in Spain, but recently was absolutely gobsmacked when I found a name tile thing with 'Josie' written on it in a tourist information centre on the Isle of Wight (England)!! That was a first :o! xxxx" Apr. 23, 2008: 
"We plan to name our daughter Josephina and call her Josie pronounced with the Z! We love it, but a few of our relatives think it is unusual." Apr. 13, 2008:

"I love the name, Josie. It was my great-grandmother's name. My husband and I just named our little girl, Josie. She was born on 9/9. I pronounce it Jo-C. Most others pronounce it Jo-Z. I wish people would pronounce it Jo-C, but I can live with the other pronunciation." Dec. 16, 2007: 
"I am about to have a baby girl in December and my husband fell for the name Josie...It took me a little longer but now I love it..When I seen her sweet little face on the 4-D....I KNEW JoSiE was her name!

"I am Josie Anne but everyone knows me as Josie. The name Josie is very special, it only suits certain people. Also, if you take out the 's' it spells the word meaning Joy in french!
