Jovie?

4 weeks to go and DH and I still not decided on names. I'd definitely have Lyra or Georgia, but he's not convinced.

Came across Jovie today and he likes it! I'm not 100% but it sounds nice with our surname and works with the middle name I want.

It also has tenuous links to Christmas - it's the girl from Elf's name. We LOVE Elf Blush

Looks like a misspelling of Josie TBH

LucyInTheSkyWithDonuts · 01/11/2016 20:53

I immediately thought Bon...

It's not a great name (sorry)

FaithAscending · 01/11/2016 20:53

I too thought Jon Bon...

EddieStobbart · 01/11/2016 20:55

Nah, I think you'd better hold on to what you've got

SisterViktorine · 01/11/2016 20:55

Why not Jody?

DefinitelyNotRuth · 01/11/2016 20:55

I think it's really cute Smile

Soubriquet · 01/11/2016 20:56

I thought of Elf immediately

Love it

SimonNeilshair · 01/11/2016 20:57

I immediately thought of Elf Grin

blamethecat · 01/11/2016 20:58

Jon bon

gunting · 01/11/2016 20:59

Nooo

panad317 · 01/11/2016 21:03

I love it and think it suits all ages.

QueenOfTheNaps · 01/11/2016 21:15

I also LOVE Elf and watch it every year but didn't make the connection? I did think 'bon jon' though.

I think it's cute and different, it's that's what you're going for!

Chinlo · 01/11/2016 21:25

It doesn't make a difference if you make it or not.

Quodlibet · 01/11/2016 21:27

You've got each other and that's enough...?

babyinthacorner · 01/11/2016 21:27

Oh FFS. I HATE Bon Jovi.

Back to the drawing board.

And very good Chinlo Grin

Lyra is lovely.

Pluto30 · 01/11/2016 21:30

I know a girl named Jovi.

I still think it's odd and she's 6 or 7 now.

Yes, it's very Bon Jovi reminiscent.

How about Joni? As in Joni Mitchell?

HerRoyalNotness · 01/11/2016 21:31

My cousins little boy is a Jovi, after Jon Bon. Doesn't feel like a real name to me

HerRoyalNotness · 01/11/2016 21:32

Joni per PP is a good alternative

Quodlibet · 01/11/2016 21:37

Elvie? Effie?

babyinthacorner · 01/11/2016 21:39

I can't believe I didn't make the Bon Jovi connection myself, to be honest! Baby brain plus name desperation I guess... Wink

Joni's a great suggestion, but I know a couple of boys with that as their pet name and I wouldn't be able to get past that connection.

Think I could get DH to agree to Lyra if I start a proper campaign...

EddieStobbart · 01/11/2016 22:01

Actually... I'd give it a shot

Oysterbabe · 01/11/2016 22:16

Maybe use it as a middle name, that way you're halfway there.

EddieStobbart · 01/11/2016 22:42

Livvie? Ona? Prepare for your friends to be surprised.

IpDipCatnip · 01/11/2016 23:29

Only jovi (spelt this way) I know is a boy and also makes me think oft get lovely Jon....
