It's OK. First thought was a baby kangaroo, then Joey from Friends.

LadyCampanulaTottington · 22/07/2022 09:10

Cute and pretty classic.

AliceMcK · 22/07/2022 09:12

I like. My families Irish and we have lots of Joseph’s all shortened to Joe or Joey.

WinterMusings · 22/07/2022 09:12

'Doesn't share'

or baby kangaroo.

sorry, but you did ask. I wouldn't say anything if just introduced to a baby called Joey (but I might have a sneaky peak to see if you have a pouch)

For a boy or a girl?

I wouldn't use it as a full name for either. Joseph/Joanna/Josephine.

knackeredagain · 22/07/2022 09:47

Joseph is lovely but I’d stick with that. Joey may become a cute nickname.

Me too.

I'd go for Joseph and see what nickname they end up with. They may even like their it as it is.

Dawson's Creek
Doesn't share
Pouch

First thought is definitely a girl. I don't dislike it despite the above.

ErrolTheDragon · 22/07/2022 10:08

Fine as nickname. I suppose it's not too awful as a name because when he outgrows cute he can just use Joe.

pinklavenders · 22/07/2022 10:48

For a girl?

I prefer Josephine or Josie

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 22/07/2022 11:36

I haven't seen Friends since it was first broadcast and still my first thought on seeing Joey is 'how yooou doin'?'.

LizzieBet14 · 22/07/2022 12:16

Not for me. I love Joseph and Joe and think Joey ruins a lovely name.....

RuthW · 22/07/2022 12:18

Joseph is nice. Joey isn't

RuthW · 22/07/2022 12:19

I'm also old enough to remember when being called a joey was an insult in the 80s

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 22/07/2022 12:20

Joel is nice too

France98 · 22/07/2022 19:14

I used to have budgie called Joey. I wouldn't call a human that.

newbiename · 22/07/2022 19:17

Love it

MumChats · 22/07/2022 19:29

Love Joseph and think joey is cute as nn but wouldn't use it on its own.

Def wouldn't use it on its own for a girl but again might be cute nn for Joanna. Or for a girl maybe joely/josie.

Cotswoldmama · 22/07/2022 19:39

I like it for a girl but not a boy

ariesalien · 22/07/2022 19:41

LOVE it - for both a boy and a girl.
