I do like Amy Irene, it's lovely but I've also been wanting to fit Joyce into a combo. Joyce Irene is my maternal grandma's name, she was born Irene Joyce but legal switched her names in an attempt to leave her past (including an abusive childhood and a divorce) behind her. My mom and I really like the name Irene and I'd like to use it but also want to use Joyce to honor grandma's decision to "start afresh". Amy Joyce Irene honors her and I'm really liking the idea of a possible nickname of Amy-Joy / Amy Joy that wouldn't be avaiable is I just used Irene as the MN.

Thanks for your comments. I'm going to leave Amy spelled without the E alone for the present.
