I think that unusual names are nice for girls. But I don't think
a boy would particularly like to have a "strange" name.
Also, there will ALWAYS be ANOTHER one with that name at some point
in life. I think when you like a name that you feel is uncommon,
you are prone to hear it because you are now "turned on" to it whereas
before you didn't care, so it didn't jump out at you.
BTW, I have not seen my name here JOY. I get the JOY TO THE WORLD
at Christmas and it annoys me. I was born in August. I am the
fourth girl. Everyone was like "oh no another girl", so my mother
thought she ought to name me something "joyous".
I have sisters RONNA, LUANN, BARBARA and brother JOHN (which is
becoming uncommon because everyone thinks it is ordinary).

Hi Joy,
My name is the same as yours. I never like it either until a couple of
years ago. My relatives kept calling me Joyce though which I dislike
even more. Fortunately, a boy in my class in grammar had the name of
Noel, so we both got lots of teasing and such in school. I now collect
christmas cards with just JOY on them and anything else for christmas
that has JOY on it. I even have friends that collect things for me!
I must say that my parents were going to name me others that are not on
my top-10 list, such as Richardina (first born and named after my
father), Georgianna (expected birth date was 22 Feb. for George
Washington), or Rita (after my godmother). Because my maiden name is
rather unusual, my mom decided on Joy Lee (maiden name is Plouffe).
She decided that short names were best for our last name.
enJoy...
