Joy or Julia

[Sexnotgender]

Which would you pick?

Julia. Every child or adult I've ever met called Joy had been anything but Joyful, it's a big name to live up to.

I absolutely love Julia!

Julia, I love it.

I know, but I love it😫

I know a Joy, actually 2 thinking about it and they are both lovely lovely people.

Joya was on our list

Julia

I know a Joy who is anything but!
Julia's a much nicer name

I (personally) prefer Juliet but Joy and Julia are both good names.

Lovely names.
I would probably prefer Julia.
I also like Juliet.

I love Juliet too but DH doesn’t.

Joy.

I love the name Joy. It’s just a difficult name to live up to

Julia is safer. If you get a shy and introverted or melancholy Joy, the amount of people who will take the piss out of her name - my godmother is Joy and has had to develop a thick skin because of it.

Julia

Or Joyce?

Julia definitely

Julia. I'm a Julia and really like it - feels quite classic without being super popular (I've only met a couple of others but they've been different ages to me). I wouldn't want to be a Joy - less keen on the sound and it feels like something I'd have to live up to.

Julia Joy

Prefer Giulia.

Joy - no.

Julia definitely! Lovely name.

Julia

My step mum is Joy and just no. Joy for a middle name would be fine. Although maybe not Julia Joy

Joy Joy Joy every time! Love that name

Julia, option to be Jules when older.
I also have only known one Joy who was anything but a Joy!

Love both!

@Violetlavenders

Love both!

Me too 🙄😂😫

I think I’m leaning towards Julia.

Julia

Julia most definitely
It has gravitas and is classic. Beautiful.
Joy...no, Joya, maybe, Juliet, Juliette, lovely again.
