It looks horrible. Not so much a variation of Joanie as a mutilation. Whyever anyone would use Joanie as a full name, let alone Joni, I can't imagine. Just name the child Joan and the nn will follow, until it doesn't - I've never met an adult Joanie or, especially, Joni. But no doubt that -ie ending is fine while the bearer's age is in single figures.
