Help finding boy name meaning "joy"

Tarta

Or something along the lines of joy. DD's name is Jovie and has a hazy background, but everything I've found points to it refering to joy and joviality. We've had the hardest time coming up with names for this upcoming DS, but I like the idea of choosing another joy-related name. Here are a few ideas I've seen that I will be sharing with DH.

DD announced she wants to name baby brother Isaac which does mean "he laughs" DH and I neither love nor hate it, and it definitely fits the joy-ish requirement. So for now I guess it goes on the list of possibilities. Here we go:

Marnin

Gil

Tate

Whelan

Ellery

Fane

Arnan 

 

Any thoughts on these or any great additions to the list I should know about? I'm really hoping this gives us some direction because we're 7 weeks from EDD and completely drawing blanks on names. 

Thanks ladies!

According to some sources, Felix means "Lucky", but in other sources it means 'happy".

I like Isaac the best of the names you have listed. It's funny--my brother's middle name is Isaac for the same reason; my first name means laughter and my parents wanted something with the same meaning.

ETA: I love Jovie! It would have been a middle name contender for us if our baby was a girl.

I definitely prefer Isaac out of the names you listed. You could also do Asher- it means 'happy' or 'blessed' in Hebrew.

Oh! I like Asher.

Thanks for the compliments on Jovie. I really wanted to name her Ruby, but DH had a bad name association. I'm happy now that we went with Jovie. It definitely fits her.

I like Ellery and Tate, they sound good together. I also like pp's suggestion of Asher.

Ronen (Hebrew) means joy: https://www.behindthename.com/name/ronen

Blythe (English) means cheer: https://www.behindthename.com/name/blythe

If you go to Behind the Name and select meanings next to the search box you can search through several names.

Good Luck!

Isaac is a great name.    I also really like Asher.

I like Ellery! It's actually our girl name if we ever have one. I like Asher too, we are considering it as a middle name for DS2.

Yep- Think Feliz Navidad for happy/merry Christmas. Felix comes from the same root word.

My favorite is ANAYANSI.  It means "the key to happiness".
