Joy or Grace?

[CommonNortherner]

Does Selina Grace or Selina Joy sound better?

dh and I are arguing. Not that's it's urgent or anything, I just like to have names on hand and am positive mine sounds better!

Selina Joy - Joy is on my list for a first name and Grae is over used as a mn, and Joy has such a beautiful sound/meaning.

Joy is lovely especially teamed with Selina. Joy was on my shortlist - adore it.

I like the meaning of Joy better. But like them both as middle names with Selina

I'd go for Joy. I's on my list. Every baby seems to be called Grace now, though it is also a lovely name..

Both gorge - each are a middle name for my dtd (and Joy is my middle name)

Joy was my choice, I will let dh know!

The only Joy I know doesn't live up to the name. It's a bit 1940s.

Grace is better but it is the new Sarah in schools now ( nothing wrong with Sarah) so can be a bit anonymous. ( Some children like that though )

Joy! There is a lovely Joy in my son's creche and she is so lovely. It does suit a child, honestly.

oh sorry, it's a middle name.

Definitely Joy.

I like Selina Grace

I love Joy. I'd have called forthcoming DC Joy had it a) been a girl and b) my DS wasnt called Joey!

Would avoid both these names in case qualities do not apply to child in question.

Sorry - just realised it's a middle name.

My brand new dd2's middle name is Joy. Dh wanted Jane, I wanted Juniper, so we settled for Joy. If she doesn't suit it, she can only use it as an initial - it's only a middle name, after all!

I think that Selina Grace works better, but it also depends on your surname.

I take it Joy is getting all trendy then

LilianGish: Oh I think it could work anyway... I do like Joy in Drop the Dead Donkey and she's anything but joyful
