Formal Name for Joey?

I love the name [name_m]Joey[/name_m] for a girl but not a big fan of [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] or Joanne/ or [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]. Any ideas on a formal name [name_m]Joey[/name_m] could be derived from? [name_m]Or[/name_m] would you skip that and just use [name_m]Joey[/name_m]?
Any middle name thoughts?

I think [name_m]Joey[/name_m] can work on its own, although admittedly I do like it more as a nickname.

Maybe…
[name_f]Jorie[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f] / [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]
[name_m]Jordan[/name_m]
[name_f]Jovie[/name_f]
[name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Jocasta[/name_f]

I think [name_m]Joey[/name_m] works as a standalone name if you don’t mind the fact that some people might automatically think it’s a boy based on the name. I wouldn’t try and look for a longer name if you really prefer “just” [name_m]Joey[/name_m], but here’s some ideas:

[name_f]Jocasta[/name_f]
[name_f]Jovana[/name_f]
[name_f]Josanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Journey[/name_f]
[name_f]Jonquil[/name_f]
[name_m]Jericho[/name_m]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Josette[/name_f]
Jovette
[name_f]Jolanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Joliet[/name_f]

Since [name_f]Josie[/name_f], [name_f]Stevie[/name_f], and [name_f]Scottie[/name_f] rank and are on the rise, I think [name_m]Joey[/name_m] could work!

Still, some other full names for [name_m]Joey[/name_m] could be…

[name_f]Josette[/name_f]
[name_f]Joliet[/name_f] / Joliette
[name_m]Jona[/name_m]
[name_f]Journey[/name_f]
[name_f]Jordanna[/name_f] / [name_m]Jordan[/name_m] / [name_f]Jordanne[/name_f]
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]
JoBeth
[name_f]Jolene[/name_f]
Jocosa
[name_f]Joetta[/name_f]
[name_m]Jemison[/name_m]
[name_f]Jacoba[/name_f]
[name_f]Marjolaine[/name_f]

I know a little girl called [name_f]Joie[/name_f] which I first thought was [name_f]Joy[/name_f] but it’s [name_m]Joey[/name_m] and a stand-alone. I would skip and just use [name_m]Joey[/name_m] if that’s the name you love. There’s also [name_f]Josie[/name_f].

[name_m]Joey[/name_m] [name_f]Camille[/name_f]

My cousin named her daughter Jordan and calls her Joei (Joey). Maybe a good option! đź©·

Middle names…

For me I like to pick honor middle names for someone in your family. My sons middle name is Ray after my grandfather Raymond, my husbands dads middle Ray, a great grandfather Ray, and my hubs brother with the middle name Ray.
