Thoughts on Jovie

Hi,

Need some advice, we both like the name Jovie but others have said it sounds like J0bby, especially in Glaswegian accent! Don't know what to do as we both love the name and have few other ideas but don't want to risk it if people will associate it with that word.

Use it for a middle name then you'll just need to think of a first name, you'll be halfway there...

@Oysterbabe I'm crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂

By Jovie

Sounds like something from PG Wodehouse.

If you want a jovial name, how about Laetitia?

Awful, sorry....

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 20/04/2017 13:44

Definitely swimming against the tide here-

I did think of Elf, but think it's rather sweet and I like it.

Although Oysterbabe did make me laugh!!!

Ce n'est pas bon

Ignore these jokers..if you like it Keep the Faith

NameyMcNamerson83 · 20/04/2017 14:00

First thought was Elf!

Jovia sounds like a brand of incontinence pants. I'm afraid that both Jovia and Jovie give love a bad name....

HonorBright · 20/04/2017 15:07

Sorry, OP, but that name is like bad medicine.

greeeen · 20/04/2017 19:07

Makes me think of the woman in Elf. Was that her name, or something similar? I quite like it and didn't think of Bon Jovi at all.

Bad medicine

😂

I've watched Elf but didn't remember the love interest's name.

Personally I've never heard of it and if I saw the name I'd assume that it was a misprint of Josie or Jodie.

I love Elf and Zooey Deschanel is so beautiful, she definitely makes the name Jovie attractive. I like the name. I really like Jolie too, but I would get annoyed with people muddling it with the names Jodie and Josie which I really don't like.
