Joy

[DontCallMeMummyPig]

Old lady? Or OK?

I like it

Gorgeous!

I like it. I didn't used to, used to find it stiff, no idea why when it's meaning is so jubilant. Now I've thought about it myself. I like Hope and Faith too.. altough obvously not for triplets!!

lovely!

Can a name really be 'gorgeous'? Please calm down and - er - get a life???

Oh do fuck off Anna.

Minty

Sorry but you did ask for it!!!

Love it.

I like Joy.

You guys really do need to get out more - haha

Mmm I always think it's one of those names where there's pressure on the person to embody the meaning. So a Joy would always have to be happy or the irony would be too much to bear...

I had the nicest possible midwife called Joy!

Lovely

I'm off to post on the camping topic to tell them all to get a roof.

Very nice and underused as a first name - it's one of those 1-syllable names that gets put in the middle instead.

Lovely and underused.

I like it, but I've known a couple of real life grown-up Joy's and they were completely miserable and bitter types - maybe it was the pressure to live up to their name?!?

really really like it.
i did think about it for dd, and wish i'd gone for it

lovely name.

Thats my name :D

Ive noticed on here when Joy gets suggested, one of the things people say is 'Ooh, its a bit too hard to live up to!' but I can honestly say, no one has ever been enough of a dickhead when Ive been upset or angry about something to say 'Thats not very Joyful!'.

I get complimented on my name all the time. I think more people should use it ;)

Joy is nice but not Joyce. (Not that you asked about Joyce.)

I love it. Dh vetoed.

I think it is lovely and have only ever known really lovely people called Joy.

Joy is a lovely name.
