Warning: hyphenated name question (Something-Joy)

Title says it all, really. I know the views on hyphenated names but I'm still thinking about one.

I'm wondering about something I could hyphenate with Joy, a family name.

Or should I just not go there?

Don't go there.

How about Ramona-Joy? I think that has a nice ring to it.

BillyBollyBandy · 04/11/2012 20:58

I have a Claudia Joy - not hyphenated
DD1 was going to be Amelia Joy, again not hyphentaed

Both go well thoughI think

Not really keen on Joy, would just use it as a middle name tbh.

I came on to suggest Amelia-Joy, but see it's already been done! Names with a similar feel though -

Alexa-Joy
Louisa-Joy
Sophia-Joy
Cecily-Joy
Rosa-Joy
Isabella-Joy
Lilia-Joy

Not Serena-Joy (Handmaid's tale).

Sorry, not useful.

HecatePhosphorus · 04/11/2012 18:19

do it if you like it. Fashions change and people really have got to stop letting others dictate what names or styles of names they should or shouldn't have.

yeah, I know, I'm a worthy goody unrealistic blah blah

but it's my pov and I'm sticking to it

I think something beginning with A would go well with Joy. What about, erm,
Amelia-Joy
Amalie-Joy
Aelwen-Joy

FrustratedSycamoreBonks · 04/11/2012 18:19

Amelia-joy?

botandhothered · 04/11/2012 18:18

I know a Maria Joy! I think it's nice!
