'So put me on a wheelchair, and get me to the show, hurry hurry hurry, before I have to go, I cant control my fingers, I cant control my toes oh no no no oh noooo!' - Joey Ramone, lead singer of The Ramones.
I feel like this is too childish. If you want to call your son this, why not name him Joseph and call him Joey as a nickname? That way he can go by a more formal name by the time he's older than 10.

Joey Ramone (1951-2001) was the lead vocalist of the New York punk rock band the Ramones. He was one of the founding members of the band in 1974, and stayed as a member until they disbanded in 1996. Joey wrote many of the Ramones' most famous songs, including "I Wanna Be Sedated", "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" and "Bye Bye Baby". He also had a lead role in the cult teen film "Rock 'n' Roll High School" and produced his own solo album near the end of his life. Interestingly, because all the members of the band invented new names for themselves, Joey Ramone was not his real name; he was born Jeffry Hyman, but decided to call himself Joey when the Ramones began, and kept the name even after the band had split up.
It reminds me of Joey from Dawson’s Creek and Joey from Liv & Maddie. I don’t like it at all on a girl, but on a boy it’s fine I guess. Oh, and Joey from Friends. It’s just too familiar on a boy to see on a girl tbh.

My first boyfriends name was Joey; it was a bit common, I admit. But no one could bear the name as well as my darling Joey did. He was funny, smart, sharp-tongued, and a bit of a ladies-man; all which I expect a Joey to be.
I was always sort of indifferent towards the name when it came to males, but then I watched Dawson's Creek, and I fell in love with the name on a girl. DC had a lot of great female names, but this was my favourite. So cute.
This is a cute nickname for but males and females. This is personally my nickname, and I'm a girl. Joey can be a nickname for Joseph, Joanna, and Joelle.
