Sorry, I didn't put this in my other post, but I had forgotten about it. I heard that some people I used to know had a baby girl they named Rejoyce. I was surprised because they named their son Samuel Henry. At the moment they are expecting twins, so it will be interesting to see whether classic or tryndee wins out. Anyway, what do you think of Rejoice, spelled correctly? I was actually halfway liking it (to my own surprise) until I heard the spelling. With a name like that, though, she'll probably turn out to be miserably somber. :P

Well, actually, if you think about it as having "Joyce" in the name, it would be considered correctly spelled.

Hmmm...

At least the -joyce part would be. The problem is having Re- on the front. Rejoice, as a word, is mispelled. Maybe they will call her Joyce for short. I don't know. That's an interesting argument, though. Thanks for bringing it up.

I'm kinda out on a limb with this one. I'm liking the sound but not the way it looks... (spelled either way) I think it's the R, I'm not a big fan of R names.

Yeah they are two entirely different naming styles! Yet again I like some names that are trendy (not anything like Rejoyce) and then biblical so I think it is okay as they are individual people. I think I like the Rejoyce spelling better.

It sounds like they wanted to name her after Aunt Joyce. Re-Joyce.

I don't like it, even spelled correctly. It sounds like a command, not a name.
