As I was looking at the websites and taking notes on my name I found the following: 139,820 people have the name Joy, and 99.9% of people who have this name are female. Further more the name Joy is typically used when parents are overjoyed at their newborn and want to wish her a happy life.
As for my last name I found that there are a couple celebrities that have the same last name as me. For example: Alice Cooper, who is a famous musician, Bradley Cooper who is a famous actor and is so hot that just looking at him makes you sweat!
What I have learned about my name…
My first name Jennfier came from my birth mother who loved the name Jenny, so my adopted parents decided that my first name would be Jennifer in honor of her.
Joy came from my great grandmother, who was one of the most influential and important people in my Dad’s life. Secondly when my parents where driving to the hospital to take me home with them, they heard a song called” Joy Comes in the Morning”, and my Dad always says that from that point on he knew I was a baby girl.
NickNames:
Cuppycake: My Dad saw this video on youtube of a little child singing a song called “cuppycake” and ever since then he has called me his “cuppycake” because he said I am as sweet as a cupcake (In case you may not have caught on by know, I am a HUGE DADDY’S GIRL ).
Joybelle: I am not sure how I got this name but I have heard it all my life. Most of the time my parents do not call me “Joy” but call me Joybelle (or my other nickname I mentioned). I love both of my nicknames because they have come from my parents, and to me that is what makes them so special, and each nickname has a deep connection between my parents and I. I believe it is important to know how and why you were given your name, it gives you more connection between your parents, culture, or heritage.
