Currently obsessed with the combo [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Joy[/name_f].
But only for a boy! I know, I know, many would class this name as all girl. So, I’m looking for alternatives that give me this same “joyous” feeling, but are slightly less girly… [name_m]Can[/name_m] you help?
I love [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Joy[/name_f] on a boy and definitely prefer this combo on a boy too! However, I do agree that it reads rather feminine.
Perhaps you could try an alternative name meaning “happy”, e.g. …
Otherwise, here are a few names that give me a joyous feeling …
Quirky nature names, such as [name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m], also feel happy to me, although I’m not sure if that’s the case for you of course.
Nice to hear you like [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Joy[/name_f] for a boy too

I know of a male [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] who is around age 30 now! [name_f]Joy[/name_f] feels very feminine to me, especially with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]. I’d personally use a more decidedly masculine name with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u].
I actually have a friend who is a girl with this name combo so yes it reads purely female to me. Maybe [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] nn [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u]. And then maybe Jonathan/ Jonah/ etc so you could even have [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u] [name_u]Joe[/name_u]?
It feels very feminine to me as well. I really quite like these and you may as well…
[name_m]Vin[/name_m] (I think it can stand on its own depending on your last name)

[name_m]Vincien[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
I enjoy [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Joy[/name_f] on a boy, but i would personally want a slightly more masc name in the middle
A few ideas:
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Asher[/name_u]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Jem[/name_u]

[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Leo[/name_u]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_u]Or[/name_u] some other names which give me a joyous feel like [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]:

Thanks so much for all the feedback and suggestions, I really appreciate it!
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] just doesn’t do it for me, unfortunately.
Looove [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Jem[/name_u] Don’t know that it entirely solves the problem though
