Personal experiences with the name Joyce

This is my mom's name and she is such a joyful person!

There is a very annoying, skinny, buck-toothed, blond, superficial girl that I work with named Joyce and I can't stand her, or the name since Ive met her. Not to be too negative or anything. I get along with everyone, she just gets on my nerves. She is one of those people that talks unneccessarily loud about herself to make sure everyone hears her.
