Jolly

[Pumapants283]

For a girl? I love it, dh raised his eyebrows.

Don't

No

No

nope. She'll have a lifetime of "I thought your name was Jolly?" every time she's not smiling.

Only if you use the middle names Green Giant.

Oh no no no no!

Um no. Lots of jokes when she's grumpy or stroppy. Just no.

I work with a woman with this name and she's just not. I wouldn't.

Have it as a nickname.

Try to imagine how it would sound in a job interview.

Is it even a name? Short for something?

It's a bit... Mr Man

I've never heard it as a name except for jolly tall the giraffe in old bear.

What about jolie?

God, no.

Or jolene?

Could work as nn for Joy, or maybe Felicity/Felicia.

Isn't it short for Joleon, which is a boys name

Jolie makes me think of Angelina Jolie! If I didn't immediately think of her then I probably would like it more. I've got no issue with her just don't want to be naming my child after her

Sorry, but that's an awful name to saddle your daughter with.

Felicity is my other favourite, dh doesn't like it either, says it sounds too much like a fairy

I like it as a cutesy nickname. It needs a proper name though. Juliet?

Adding my vote to the no camp. Nickname maybe but no as an actual name.

Nope.

Jolie is nice. My first thought was Jolie Richardson.

Ooh she's joely isn't she? Another option?

Ridiculous 'name', sorry.

There's being different and being silly. This falls into the ridiculously silly category.

That is not a name. Don't call your child "jolly". Will your next one be "angry"? Unless you're snow white naming 7 little men, just don't.
