I prefer [name_u]Jo[/name_u] as a full name, and I think [name_u]Jo[/name_u] is more gender neutral, whereas [name_u]Joe[/name_u] is more masculine. So it depends whay they’re looking for.

love [name_u]Jo[/name_u]! that would be my personal pick. but I agree [name_u]Joe[/name_u] gives a slightly more masculine feel on paper if that’s something you’re after. the name also lends itself easily to [name_u]Joey[/name_u] as a nickname if they’re interested in that (:

I prefer [name_u]Jo[/name_u] in general but [name_u]Jo[/name_u] is quite feminine in spelling and [name_u]Joe[/name_u] is quite masculine. I could see [name_u]Joey[/name_u] going both ways. MJ feels mostly neutral.

[name_u]Jo[/name_u] for a girl. [name_u]Joe[/name_u] for a boy

In my opinion, MJ is the best option! It feels very gender neutral and also is a lovely tie to their birth name. I also like Jo/e, that would also be a good option! [name_u]Jo[/name_u] feels very feminine to me so I would say go with the spelling [name_u]Joe[/name_u]. Good luck!! :two_hearts:

MJ without a doubt. Joe/Jo just feels very dated and boring to me, [name_u]Joey[/name_u] is a bit better

Jo/Joe is my favorite of these two. [name_u]Jo[/name_u] is my favorite spelling and it feels more gender neutral to me than [name_u]Joe[/name_u] (although [name_u]Jo[/name_u] tends to slightly lean feminine for me because of associations).

I looove [name_u]Jo[/name_u] as a gender neutral name – [name_u]Joe[/name_u] definitely leans masc and feels a bit dated to me but [name_u]Jo[/name_u] feels sleek and fun!
