I really want to honor my mother by naming my daughter after her. Her name is [name_f]Joni[/name_f] pronounced like [name_f]Joanie[/name_f]. What are some alternatives and nicknames that could honor [name_f]Joni[/name_f]?

Joni is a diminutive of [name_u]Joan[/name_u], which is a form of [name_m]John[/name_m]. Therefore, you could use another form of [name_m]John[/name_m], such as:
Jean
[name_u]Jeanne[/name_u]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Janelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] (pronounced [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] or yo-hana)
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Jeanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Jana[/name_f] (yah-nah, an old favorite of mine)
[name_f]Sheena[/name_f]
[name_f]Shawna[/name_f]
Sìne (same as [name_f]Sheena[/name_f])

I don’t think it’s been mentioned but how about [name_u]Jodie[/name_u]. I think that’s pretty.

Juna perhaps? Or Nia?
Or if you are Joni Mitchell fans, her birth name is Roberta Joan.
