Joanna is great though, and Josephine is nice

@CremeEggsForBreakfast , it's like they say it as Joe-LEE not Joel-ee. Imagine someone saying Julie normally and someone else saying Ju-LEE.
cf. Janet and Janette.

I like them all. Joella is probably best with a short surname.
Joelle is the one I prefer.

I also love Johanna, Joanna, Josephine, Lewella and Louella.
I know a Joanne who is called Joey - as in, baby kangaroo.

Jodie and Jody are not faves but are also nice and were once VERY popular - even for boys.
Joseph, Joe and Joel are handsome.
