I feel Joanne/a are too dated and I dislike Josephine. Any ideas please.

Also thoughts on the name Joey would be appreciated.

Don't like it sorry. But if you want DS to be known as Joey why not just call her that & be done with it?

Jocelyn? Jocasta? I quite like the name Jocelyn, but would probably go with Joss as a nickname rather than Joey. Not sure about Joey tbh.

Joelle is nice :)

I do like Jocelyn. Dislike Jocasta.

I prefer shorter names, Joan should tick all boxes but I don't like how it rhymes with moan.

I don't think Joey works as a full name but I do like it as a nn.

Joey is cute, but I think of a boy because my friend nn their son Joseph. But then I suppose there are quite a few nn which are both male and female. Sam, George...etc
sorry, tangent!
How about jordana, jovita, joelliane - found them on a unique baby name site.

I really like Josephine, what puts you off it? There's also Jody, Joan (both worse than Josephine IMHO)... And, err, Mojo?!

Pick a name you love and use Joey as a NN anyway. Nicknames don't have to make sense!

BlueChampagne · 15/01/2013 13:17

Having said that, there's also Joy or Joyce.

Joni?
Joella

Josette?

Beckamaw · 15/01/2013 13:47

We have a Jolie. Her school friends all call her Joey. It's pretty cute really!

mathanxiety · 15/01/2013 17:45

I know a 13 year old Joey Anne if that's any help?

How about Josefa (pr Joe-SEE-fa) or Josepha? I knew one in school.

I love Jolie. Also Josée.
