Opinions please. I love it because of the last line of the children's novel Skellig by David Almond...

Always reminds me of the deeply sarcastic Joy in Drop the Dead Donkey - she was fabulous

Don't think many people will remember it when your Joy grows up though, so don't let that influence you!

Perversely, I do quite like it.

It's very nice.

Love it

Jocelyn...?

beautiful name.

Mmmmm, it's my dsis's middle name. She said everyone at school took the piss out of her for it. And what happens if she's not joyful?

IM(very personal)O Joy, Grace, Patience, Hope, Charity etc etc are asking a bit too much of a poor little child.

Its my middle name and Im not keen.

I knew a Serena Joy at school and I have to say I prefer the names that way round. Agree with Flirty re Jocelyn too. Also Julian can be a girls' name which I think is waaaaaaay cool.
