Joely, Joelle

Honest opinions on these names please. And is Joella too much? Tia!

Joelle 😍

Joelle

Joely. Joelle and Joella seem a bit made up.

I find it hard to be objective about Joelle because the only one I knew was an English girl who was the school bully. I think it would sound beautiful said with a French accent. Not so keen on Joely. Joella is excessive. What about Josephine?

I have a friend called Jolie and that's a beautiful name.

Joelle is my preference over Joelly.

Really? I've met people called Joelle and Joella but noone called Joely. How do you even say it? I'm imagining a boy named Joel but with an 'ee' sound added on to sound cute.

I love Joelle! Joely is lovely too but I prefer the spelling Jolie - I’ve never seen it spelt Joely before and Jolie looks much prettier and more feminine imo. Not keen on Joella, reminds me of cruella for some reason.

@CremeEggsForBreakfast , rhymes with Coley or Foley

Joely Richardson, Joely Collins

Jolie is dreadful - gets said as Joe Lee

I've known my friend Jolie for over fifty years and I've never heard anyone call her 'Joe Lee'! That's ghastly.

People say Angelina Joe Lee

Joelle. I used to work with a brilliant one, so funny and creative.

It's not a how a french person would say it., Dombasle, but that's how many in the UK ans USA say it, Joe Lee

I like Joely, haven't heard it for ages.

Not keen on Joelle. Don't think like Joella.

I usually favour more traditional names but Joella is actually really nice. It reminds me of Floella Benjamin.

I'm also pronouncing them as "coal-ee" (Like Coleen without the 'n') and "foal-ee".

I've Googled and all three seem to be pronounced to rhyme "Joel/Cole/Foal" then "ee". Is Joley supposed to be pronounced with a more French accent?

I thought it was a car seat question sorry.

The woman who heads up Pregnant Then Screwed is called Joeli and every time I hear her name I think how lovely it is. Really suits her. So if you want to see it on an adult woman then head over to their social media.

Joella…. Is a no from me.

Just me singing 'Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jo-leeeene' in their head then?

I know a Joelle, she always goes by Jo though.

How would Joely be pronounced? Like Joel-ee or Joe-lee. I think Joelle is nicer and gets rid of pronounciation issues

I like them both and Jovie as well. Not keen on Joella.

@PickledScrump , Joel is usually said as Jole, but some say it as Joe-ul or Jo-EL. Joely is usually said like Joanie only with an l not n.
Is Jovie a name?

@DuchessOfSausage there are different pronunciations of Joely which is why I was asking op which they would be using and I’m aware how to say Joel, but thanks.

I would say Joely like COAL-ee and Jolie like Joll-LEE, but I could be wrong.
