Me too - and Sebastian, which DH hated!

I like both but prefer Julia.

I adore Julia, it's beautiful.

I like Joy as a middle name, but I don't think I'd use it as a first name.

@JungDisciple like many on here I said I knew one that was not ... joyous. Also joy was known as joy juice. An urban name

I love both, I know a lovely Joy, and I adore Julia, I’m plain old Julie which is a bit dull and not lovely. Two lovely names , what about Julia Joy?

I prefer Julia. It’s more elegant than Joy.

Notso · 03/11/2018 00:56

Julia.

Defo joy, my little girl was meant to be called joy and I so wish we'd called it her as she is a joy to have

Julia. Lovely name, and I do know a really nice Joy but she’d be the first to say her name was a bit of a handicap.

MrWolfknowsthetime · 03/11/2018 01:48

Julia of those two. But Juliet is up there with my favourite names.

Bootanicbanshee · 03/11/2018 02:29

Julia is lovely is it making a comeback?

Joy. Meh. They've always been misery guys IRL I'm afraid.

Unicyclethief · 03/11/2018 03:12

I love joy. Why are people saying they always have to be happy? it's not Roger fucking Redhat.

moredoll · 03/11/2018 03:14

Julia
