I would just like some thoughts on this name - if it's awful, what about for the middle?

I love it! Under used imo.

SuckingEggs · 23/04/2016 08:48

Lovely name!

harryhausen · 23/04/2016 09:40

Love it! I agree very under used.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 23/04/2016 09:56

Love it!

ArgyMargy · 23/04/2016 10:00

Agree - one of the few "old fashioned" names that I think is lovely!

It's my eldest sisters middle name and i think its awful , don't know what my mother was thinking.

1horatio · 23/04/2016 11:15

I like it :) I don't think it's awful at all.

Sophronia · 23/04/2016 11:15

I think it's nice as a middle name, not so keen as a first name.

southeastastra · 23/04/2016 11:16

unless they're right miserable, it's alot to live up to

DerelictMyBalls · 23/04/2016 11:18

I absolutely love it: it's on my shortlist.

eatmytoes888 · 23/04/2016 14:01

It's sweet! I love it!

Fyaral · 23/04/2016 17:53

Love it. And Joyce as well. Whats the likelihood of it being ironic? How many miserable rellies do you have?

twinjocks · 23/04/2016 18:14

Lovely name.

Eeeek686 · 23/04/2016 18:20

Went to school with a Joy, she permanently had a face like a slapped arse and was often ribbed for it.... Bit like calling someone Belle/Beau - they're in for a world of pain if they're not.....!

Sooo, yy to middle name!!

Gorgeous, love it.

3luckystars · 25/04/2016 21:22

I actually like it but thought what if someone not full of joy had the name? I was thinking about putting it on our list but kept picturing a misery guts girl at work and imagining if that was her name, it would be hilarious.
It's a great name though, very nice but I hope she is a happy person if you pick it.

Changerazelea · 25/04/2016 22:48

Fabulous, classic, unusual without being wacky or try hard- go for it!

Sothatsflatwhite · 25/04/2016 23:14

Love it

Jemimapuddleduk · 29/04/2016 21:06

Love it. Used it as a middle name for dd.

DramaAlpaca · 29/04/2016 21:07

Very nice for a middle name, but I'm not so keen as a first name.

Oysterbabe · 29/04/2016 22:09

It's my DD's middle name :)
