Middle name for Joni

We've decided on Joni for the first name, but need a decent middle name. I don't mind how long it is, but don't want it to have an ee sound at the end. Also not keen on the current grace/rose/may middle names although they are lovely. Thanks!

Is Joni a boys or girls name? Confused

It sounds like a nickname for Jon or Jonathan.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 08/12/2019 09:53

I’m guessing as in Mitchell so for a girl?

Felicity
Eleanor
Marie
Violet

Do you have any family names you like?

partofyoupoursoutofme · 08/12/2019 09:58

It's a girls name pronounced Joan-ee. You are right Bernard, as in Mitchell!
We can't use any family names because of current tensions 🙄 so have discounted that avenue.
We like unisex names and nature names, I suppose I'm looking for something that she can use instead of Joni if she wants to as well. It's probably a bit of a marmite name, but not sure!

Nature names you could use:
Joni Robin
Joni Rowan
Joni Linnet
Joni Rosemary
Joni Hazel
Joni Dawn

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 08/12/2019 10:18

I really like Joni, for nature names:

Dawn
Hazel
Brook/e
Willow
Summer
Wren

Failing those Elizabeth seems to go with pretty much anything but unfortunately does seem to be a ‘family’ name too, for many.

I really like Rowan, and Elizabeth is a great option because it's surprisingly not a family name on either side. Thanks!
More suggestions welcome x

Here are some suggestions for middle name for Joni:

Edith
Imogen
Margaret
Clementine
Roxanne/Roxanna
Pearl
Delilah
Ottilie
Cora
Eliza
River
Winter
Jemima
Iris

I agree that Rowan is nicer as a girls name than a boys IMO, but you say you’re choosing a name that Joni can have as an alternative to Joni so you mig hut want to bear in mind that the fastest rising boys name in top 100 is currently RoMan (will be top 20 in the next year or so). When theres so many lovely names to pick from I myself would never want pick out a name that’s SO similar to another name that’s so ubiquitous. There’s a lot of confusion between the two names where I work (with newborns) x

As someone who’s name is Joan, I don’t really get this ‘Joni’ trend. Why not just use Joan and call her Joanie...? Looks like Joni to me. It is a great sounding name though 🙂

As for a middle name I’d go for more

Realtimes · 08/12/2019 21:08

Sorry, posted accidentally, I’d go for either one or more than two syllables- and nature names are lovely- Rosetta, Wisteria, Soleil. Or for more unisex Sky, Dale, Blue.

Joan is a great idea! Lovely name and can nickname Joanie when small.

Jon or Joni look masculine.

Leopardprintboots · 09/12/2019 10:21

Joan is a lovely name

Katfood · 09/12/2019 12:11

I would assume Jon or Joni is a nickname for Jonathan.

Joan is much nicer for a girl!
