Johnny "Joey" Jones on Fox; Joey Bishop, Joey Logano (Nascar driver) Joey Fatone (formerly with 'N SYNC boy band); Joey McIntyre (New Kids on the Block boy band); Joey Lawrence (actor) and Joey Buttafuoco, lol...to name a few.
I have a brother named Joseph but we only call him Joseph. The neighborhood we lived in called him Joey for some reason, nobody in our family did. My father was also Joseph, went by Joe but may have been called Joey in his youth.

[...] went by Joe but may have been called Joey in his youth.That was exactly my point!
It's fine to go by "Joey" when the person calling your name is a kid from the neighborhood gang, standing outside of your home, impatiently throwing a baseball into a mitt.
Outside of the fields of entertainment and sports (and the Mafia), it's undignified.
