Re: Gioia / Joy (f)
in reply to a message by Felie
I think both Gioia and Joy are lovely, both in a slightly different way. Gioia reminds me a bit of Gaia in how it looks and I think that's because I think they have quite a similar feel to me. I think I like Joy more, especially as a middle name, but absolutely not necessarily.
As for other names with similar meanings I like, it is Felicia, Felicity, our Polish Felicja and everything related I guess, Serena, Serene and Serenity and Polish, but actually not used, I guess, or extremely rarely used name - Gaudencja, which is from Latin gaudium - joy, happiness. Apparently it also has other form - Gaudia - which is also very nice. And I like Letitia too.
