Ive always loved the forsyte saga and have a soft spot for the name Jolyon is it just too odd what do you think?

How is it pronounced? Is it the same as Julian, or is it definitely Jolly at the start?

I know a Jolyon and he's lovely. People always say it's a bit posh on here but I do like it.

Boys name.

I quite like it (though I do very strongly associate it with the Forsythe Saga). He could always be Jon for short if he wants a more normal name.

I don't even know if it is a boys or girls name?

Sounds like Gillian/Julian?
