Names incorporating joy

i love the name joy as a middle name and it honors a loved onešŸ¤ the only problem iā€™m having with it is that i have a different family member with the middle name joy who iā€™m not really connected to. i donā€™t want to explain to my family that the joy in my daughters name is not honoring that family member but instead connects to someone else, if that makes sense lol. are there ways i could alter the name joy? iā€™ve seen spellings like joye and joie which i donā€™t love. i also saw somewhere a joyella which iā€™m not loving eitherā€¦any ideas would be appreciated tyia!

Josephine is pretty close? There are also names that mean happiness/joy, like Felicity!

[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
Joyanne

Iā€™ve known a [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] who went by joy

maybe a name with jo? joanna, joanne, or jolie sound really nice. alternatively, a name meaning joy could be good? hereā€™s a good list of them: Top 120 Boy & Girl Names That Mean "Happy or Joy"

maybe jovie?

it sounds like jovial meaning joyful and also kind of looks like a mix of the words joy and love x

I love the idea of [name_f]Joya[/name_f]!
