Lily Josephine or Lily Rebecca?

Josephine was grandmother's name and Joseph is DH's godfather's middle name
Rebecca was middle name before I married and dropped it

Josephine feels more stylish and classic to me, with more nickname options (if she wants) later. But I'm afraid people might call her Lily Jo. UGH! WDYT? But I also think Lily Rebecca is cute and perhaps more accessible, as there seems to be divided opinion on the name Josephine itself.

Thanks!

I like Lily Josephine, they go nicely together and have so much class.

I prefer Lily Rebecca. I have negative associations with the name Josephine, and I agree she will risk being called Lily Jo, which she'll either love or absolutely hate.
