My friend was given the name Joey because he was his mother's joy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
an Englified name for my Hebrew, teeth breaking name, Yoav (pronounced like 'collage'), is Joey. I use it when i'm introducing myself globally (like when chatting with someone outside of Israel, talking to tourists or in DeviantArt or English-Speaking blogs). Yoav is a biblical name and it is very popular in Israel. In the New Testament it is changed to 'Joab' (pronounced like 'toad') and it is also to rare for me. And Joe is lame, so yup.
