I like Joy and Sam together. Simple, uncomplicated. Joy Lillian is a pretty combo.

Joy isn't a bad name, but it feels dated, especially when paired with Lillian.

I’m neutral to Joy as well as Lillian. It’s a very refreshing combo, though, even if I think Lillian Joy would flow better.

I really like it! I love Joy as a first name, it's honestly underappreciated. Lillian is absolutely beautiful and together they're a very elegant combo. I think it's also a very nice sibset with Sam.

I think Lillian Joy flows better than Joy Lillian, but yeah if it's the same name as your mother in law you wouldn't want it to be first.
Joy sounds cute, a little old fashioned but still short and bouncy. It's not my style but I wouldn't be disappointed to meet a young Joy. Although it might be awkward sometimes, since she'd be a real human and real humans are never happy/joyful all the time, whenever she was in a bad mood people might make annoying comments about her name?

I think it's nice, goes well with Samuel. I know a family with a Samuel and Joy

I think Joy is a really nice name, and underused as a fn. I would think that it would be much more popular, like Grace and Faith are now.
Joy Lillian is okay.

I don't like the rhythm of Joy Lillian. Might you consider giving her a second middle name? Joy Elise Lillian? Joy Annette Lillian?
Or, what is your own mother's name- would it work to break that sequence of stressed syllables?

I think Joy goes well with just about any name! I would use it without hesitation.

I think Joy and Sam sound nice as siblings. Joy is a simple but beautiful and I enjoy Lillian as a middle name. Joy Lillian is a lovely combo!

I really like this combo.
