Opinions please. I love it because of the last line of the children's novel Skellig by David Almond...

Love the name Joy (although I too knew a Joy who was not a Joy) ... would have had it for DD2's middle name - but finally decided on MIL's instead (Jean).

moulesfrites what is the last line of Skellig please?

Love it as I have an Aunty Joy, she is named Joyce. Wish we had given it to DD as a middle name but not sure of giving it as a first name as I agree with Ledodgy.

It's a lovely name but beware if she's not always of a happy demenour. Sil has been plagued by a life of 'why are you called Joy when you're quite miserable!' whenever she's having an off day.

Lovely. I'm not enormously keen on the only Joy I've ever actually known, but unlike many names it actually transcends that. DD has a version of Cinderalla in which eponymous heroine's real name turns out to be Joy, which always makes me sniffle a little at the end.

I love it. I think it's such gift of a name to give to a daughter. So pretty and happy, and, well, joyful!
