Joey for a girl?

We have just found out we're around 5 weeks pregnant! (Literally an hour ago lol).

We have been discussing baby names for years, and love Jack and Joey for boys but are really stuck on girl names. I love the name Joey so much (apart from the unfortunate TOWIE link which I hope will die down before due date), that I wouldn't mind it for a girl.

What do you think?

Luckily we both love it. All may change within the next 8 months though!

Love it, really dislike the long versions though. Love lots of boys names as girls- Georgie and Stevie too. But my DD has a name normally used as a boys (Tyla) and, at 8, she hates it, and wants to be called Charlotte.

I work with a female Joey - not short for anything and I like it and it suits her. The only thing is, if you mention her, people automatically assume you are talking about a man. I went to school with a Josephine who was always called Joey for short.
