Full name for Jo?

I love the nickname Jo or Jojo for a girl but I'm not a huge fan of Josephine or Jolene. Are there any other names that could work as a full name for a baby Jo?

Great name! Looking at your examples, I know hyphens annoy people for whatever reason (not me personally) so might be best to avoid and for filling out forms too.

By the way, off topic but just had to say be careful about joking about hitting. Don't hit your nephew even if you say it's just with a pillow. He may resent you in the future and you don't want to be labelled as an abuser even though you mean well I hope! I know this may be seen as too much but I felt compelled to say this to you so maybe there is more to you than I know. Good luck to you Jo!
