So do I because of the BBC Reporting Scotland weather presenter. I wish I could give her a hug and kiss.

I adore it, but it is my middle name.

Everyone I have met with the first name Joy eventually ends up going by something else. Not sure why it always feels stunted. It is a pretty name.

But, I do prefer Gioia / Joiya

I like it

It’s better as a middle name. First names that have only one syllable that happens to be emphasized seem odd to my ears.

I adore it, it’s so happy, short and sweet.

I like Joy a lot. It always surprised me, when J- names were at their height, that Joy didn't feature. It's got everything going for it, including not having a nn or the need for one.

I wouldn't use it, because of having used Beatrice. But if Beatrice hadn't been used, Joy might well have been considered.

It reminds me of tomboy style, spring and yellow colour. And I love thinking of Joy as a middle name. However, I must admit, that it's too wordy and a tad naïve...

It's ok
