Help[Opinions] Jolie . . .
The post below about names and their namesakes got me thinking about a big GP of mine: Jolie. I'm not really a fan of her, but I think her name is great. Before I go on, let me re-iterate that this is all strictly GP!
So instead of Jolie, what about Joely - which could be an entirely separate name - ie. the fem form of Joe. It could even work as a nn for Josephine. Or how about Jolly (it's pron slightly different, I like that it means happy as well)? Or Jola? Do you think Joely, Jolly, Jola etc. are too close to Jolie, could they be used without people associating them with the actress?
I know most people would see Jolie and think tacky and too celeb influenced, would they think the same about Joely/ Jolly / Jola etc. ? Finally, if you had to choose one, which would you choose (I havent;' listed all the variants of Jolie / Joely etc, are there others I have missed?)
