Need help honoring mother's name....

We are set on our girl name...... Yay!

Ella ____(mn)______ Starnes

Our last name is kinda hard sounding so we want something soft and sweet. Tentatively we have chosen Renee for a middle name but I would really prefer to honor my mother, JOYCE, somehow. Joyce was also my late grandmother's name....


I don't like Joyce in there as it loses its flow completely and I think Joy is too short..... I had thought perhaps Joelle or Jolie..... ANY suggestions would be great!!!! I am good with anything starting with Jo- or just having the Joy meaning....


HELP!

I don't think Joelle can work with Ella - the elle ending is just like Ella


I think Ella Joy Starnes works fine

I think Ella Jocelin could be a nice nod to Joyce and a pretty combination as well.
