Jovie?

4 weeks to go and DH and I still not decided on names. I'd definitely have Lyra or Georgia, but he's not convinced.

Came across Jovie today and he likes it! I'm not 100% but it sounds nice with our surname and works with the middle name I want.

It also has tenuous links to Christmas - it's the girl from Elf's name. We LOVE Elf Blush

Georgia is Lovely
I know a lap dancer who uses th name Lyra as her stage name 💃😆
Georgette , Georgina , Georgiana are all much nicer options IMO! 😊

Scrumptiousbears · 01/11/2016 23:46

Sounds like another made up name. Sorry OP.

HerRoyalNotness · 01/11/2016 23:32

IpDipCatnip · 01/11/2016 23:30

oyster 😂

IpDipCatnip · 01/11/2016 23:29

Only jovi (spelt this way) I know is a boy and also makes me think oft get lovely Jon....

EddieStobbart · 01/11/2016 22:42

Livvie? Ona? Prepare for your friends to be surprised.

Oysterbabe · 01/11/2016 22:16

Maybe use it as a middle name, that way you're halfway there.

EddieStobbart · 01/11/2016 22:01

Actually... I'd give it a shot

I can't believe I didn't make the Bon Jovi connection myself, to be honest! Baby brain plus name desperation I guess... Wink

Joni's a great suggestion, but I know a couple of boys with that as their pet name and I wouldn't be able to get past that connection.

Think I could get DH to agree to Lyra if I start a proper campaign...

Elvie? Effie?

HerRoyalNotness · 01/11/2016 21:32

Joni per PP is a good alternative

HerRoyalNotness · 01/11/2016 21:31

My cousins little boy is a Jovi, after Jon Bon. Doesn't feel like a real name to me

Pluto30 · 01/11/2016 21:30

I know a girl named Jovi.

I still think it's odd and she's 6 or 7 now.

Yes, it's very Bon Jovi reminiscent.

How about Joni? As in Joni Mitchell?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/11/2016 21:30

Lyra is lovely.

Oh FFS. I HATE Bon Jovi.

Back to the drawing board.

And very good Chinlo Grin

You've got each other and that's enough...?

Chinlo · 01/11/2016 21:25

It doesn't make a difference if you make it or not.

QueenOfTheNaps · 01/11/2016 21:15

I also LOVE Elf and watch it every year but didn't make the connection? I did think 'bon jon' though.

I think it's cute and different, it's that's what you're going for!

panad317 · 01/11/2016 21:03

I love it and think it suits all ages.
