I was actually thinking about this name (or something like it) recently. I wanted to honor a
Joseph but
Josephine is getting so popular. I was trying to think of a spelling that made sense but the only one I could come up with was Joela but my fear was that this would be pron. jo-EL-la.
Regardless, I like the sound of JOLE-ah and the spelling you've chosen!
