Creativity needed

What are some creative ways to honor an [name]Anne[/name] and a [name]Joyce[/name] in the same name? First/middle combos preferred but anything works! Thanks. :slight_smile:

[name]EDIT[/name]: By “same name” I mean a first and middle name. Sorry about that.

[name]Joanne[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] / [name]Alyce[/name]

[name]Joanna[/name], Joyanna or [name]Johanna[/name]
[name]Anise[/name] or [name]Anais[/name]
[name]Joan[/name]

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Jocelyn[/name]

[name]Joy[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Josepha[/name] [name]Anne[/name]
[name]Josie[/name] [name]Anne[/name]

Did you mean one name combining the two? If so, [name]Joanne[/name]/[name]Joanna[/name] is the most obvious. I don’t think you’d get many others without pushing it a bit.

If not, there are loads of [name]Anne[/name] variations…
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Annalise[/name]
[name]Annette[/name]
[name]Anais[/name]
[name]Anita[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Anya[/name]

[name]Joyce[/name] is a little more difficult…
[name]Joy[/name]
[name]Josie[/name]
[name]Jocelyn[/name]
[name]Joan[/name]

Something along the lines of [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Joy[/name] would be nice.

I’ve also heard of people using a name with the same meaning which is something to consider.

[name]Just[/name] to add the following [name]Anne[/name] variants:
[name]Anneli[/name]
[name]Anneliese[/name]
[name]Annika[/name] (or [name]Anca[/name], although it does sound an awful lot like ‘anchor’)
[name]Anoushka[/name]
[name]Marianna[/name]
[name]Rosanna[/name]
[name]Roxanne[/name]/a
Saranna (or [name]Savannah[/name], I suppose).

There’s [name]Pollyanna[/name], too, which is a literary option that doesn’t get much love from others, but I like it.

[name]Joyce[/name] originally comes from a [name]Breton[/name] name meaning ‘lord’ - perhaps [name]Adelaide[/name] nn Lady could be a sweet play on that, if you don’t mind stretching the connection quite a bit? Jocosa is the medieval variant of the name, too. Personally, I would opt for one of the lovely long [name]Anne[/name] variants, with the sweet and surprisingly rare [name]Joy[/name] in the middle spot. Although [name]Josephine[/name] is another lovely option, which would offer up a wealth of nicknames ([name]Josie[/name], [name]Effie[/name], Sephie, [name]Jo[/name], [name]Joy[/name], [name]Posy[/name], even [name]Fifi[/name]).

[name]Auburn[/name]

My pick would be [name]Annabel[/name] [name]Joy[/name].
