I personally love the name and it is significant in our family, but I don't want my child to hate it! Could it make a comeback...and when?!

No, I don't like it. Mind you, it was my late MIL's name, and she was a horrible person.

Why not Josie as a name, rather than a nickname?

I think Joyce is a lovely name and definitely due a revival.
I’m a big fan of girls names that are not just the girl-version of a boys name too.

Have you heard of Joyce Grenfell? Look her up on YouTube if not.

Brenda the other day and now Joyce?
Tomorrow Diane or Elaine?

Ooo, yes.

Joycelyn

I have taught a Joyce, she would be in her late teens now.

I think it’s a great name!

Joyce is amazing Wink

I love it.
And in the same vein, if I were to have a miracle DD now (no chance), I’d call her Gloria.

Lauren0rder · 25/09/2018 22:52

Ooh no.

Runningishard · 25/09/2018 22:55

Joyce is a great name. It doesn’t need to make a popular comeback or be shortened or changed OP. Go for it!

Runningishard · 25/09/2018 22:55

Gloria another cracking name parrot

parrotonmyshoulder · 26/09/2018 07:41

I know. Do you want it? Someone, use it! I can’t.
