Joey

General Name Discussion

This isn’t for a real child, just wondering about names.

Lately I’ve really been liking the name [name]Joey[/name]/[name]Joe[/name]. I think it would be really cute on a little boy and also a spunky middle name for a girl ([name]Joey[/name]).

Are there any unconventional ways to get [name]Joey[/name] for a boy? I’m not a fan of [name]Joseph[/name]… Also, what are your opinions on [name]Joey[/name] or [name]Joe[/name] (for a boy)? And do you think [name]Joey[/name] would work as a middle name for a girl? What first names might you pair with it?

Thanks!

I like [name]Joe[/name] and [name]Joey[/name] as nicknames, though I do like [name]Joseph[/name] and would probably use that as the full name myself.

For boys:

[name]Josiah[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Jonas[/name]
[name]Jonathan[/name] (I’ve known of a [name]Jonathan[/name] going by [name]Jo[/name], so I think while it’s unconventional it can work)
[name]Johannes[/name]

For a girl, I’d use it as a nickname for a longer name:

[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Joanne[/name]
[name]Joanna[/name]/[name]Johanna[/name]
[name]Jodie[/name]/[name]Jody[/name]

I could even see [name]Joey[/name] work as a nickname for [name]Georgia[/name]/[name]Georgina[/name], though it’s a bit more of a stretch than the others.

I love [name]Joey[/name], especially for a girl!

I knew a [name]Joie[/name] in high school - but they pronounced it [name]Joey[/name].

My cousin’s name is [name]Josiah[/name] and he gets called [name]Joe[/name], I think [name]Joey[/name] would also work. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the replies!

I’m thinking I like [name]Joey[/name] better as a boy’s name. Nothing really appeals to me in terms of full names though – I’ll keep looking!

I think it’s a cute little girl’s nickname. I definitely wouldn’t use it as a full name though.

On a boy it’s definitely cute, but it’s hard to separate from [name]Joey[/name] on Friends for me.

I really like [name]Joey[/name] for a girl but for variation how about [name]Joely[/name]? It is similar and it means pretty in French
