From your list, Joy fits perfectly, Dorothy and Joy sound lovely together.

Other suggestions: Nell or Freda?

Ida and Martha are lovely. Personally I hate Joy because both the Joys I have known have been absolutely anything but, beastly women. Puts me off a bit 😂
What about Esther? I love that name but it’s very similar to my son’s name so it isn’t one I’ll ever be able to use!

Thank you all! Really helpful.

Mavis nn May
Agnes nn Nessie
Meredith nn Merry

From your list I'd go for Iris Joy.

My favorites on your list are Maeve, Violet and Joy!
