Josephine has changed so much over lockdown! I can't tell who she resembles now.

You think, hasn’t she just got a haircut.
To me sweet Josephine is all Mary.
I can’t tell who sweet Vincent resembles. Maybe a perfect mix between Frederik and Mary.
But then it is most important they look like themselves
And Josephine is callled 'Phine' by Frederick in the video. I assume that's the name they usually use for her. Don't do also use 'Bella' for Isabella?!
It’s not Frederik we can hear in the video, is it ?
I’m pretty sure it is Christian.

About Josephine. Do Danes say Josephine with an f as in Josefine?
If they do, would that not make in 'Fine', not 'Phine'?
Fine and Phine are pronounced similarly in Danish.
So because Josephine is spelled with ‘ph’, her nickname will be Phine.
I agree with Muhler:
We have heard Vincent is called Vincer.
Isabella is often called Bella.
I haven't heard Christian’s name be shortened neither.
But both Frederik and Mary are often heard calling their children 'skat'. It is the Danish word for honey/sweetheart.
We have heard Frederik call Mary the nickname Maz.
We hear him call her 'skat' and he often refers to her as ‘my wife’.
I've only heard Mary say Frederik or ‘skat’ to Frederik.
But she often refers to Frederik as 'my husband'.
'Skat' is a very common word for your loved ones here in Denmark, and you can easily call your whole household ‘skat’. Both your spouse and children. It's pretty easy when you call at someone... they all answer
Unless they are teens... then they are not answering at all.
Especially because they hadn't seen them since December; so it's been about 5 months for them (of course, in between they had other classmates at the international school in Verbier).
