Joyce

[shiveringtimber]

What do you think of Joyce as a name?

My nan's sister was called Joyce and she hated her name but for some inexplicable reason she gave her eldest daughter the same name. The Joyce I know is rather bitter and certainly not "full of joy" and for that reason, I dislike the name.

For a modern baby in 2019? No.

I like it.

I think it’s a bit old fashioned, but then again old fashioned names have been given a revival
Quite like Joyce, but prefer Joy

It was my Mum's name, and my middle name is Joy. I like it.

It’s akin to nails down a blackboard for me
Sorry Joyce’s

My name is Joy, I hated it when I was younger because it was a bit old ladyish but I've grown to love it. Really don't like being called Joyce though.

It's the name of my ex (now late) FIL's bit of stuff when he was still married. She was also a neighbour. They both caused all sorts of heartache so I very much dislike the name.

My wonderful late DM's name She would've been 90 this year
Her middle name was Evelyn

Sorry OP, I think it's awful. The sort of name a minor character in a 1980s sitcom has.
