Never know quite how to pronounce it -Joe-elle or Joal?

Rhymes with coal, Rachel :)

I used to like it, but then I got my heart smashed to pieces broken by a guy called it, so it has negative connotations.

I liked it before that though. And Jonah, I love Jonah :)

I like it but then I love all Jo- names for boys: Joseph, Jonah, Jonas, Josiah, etc.
