Help[Opinions] Jolie
WDYT? I used to have two students with this name. They would both be 8 now.

I prefer Julie or Joline/Joleen. I’m a bit bothered by “Jolie” meaning pretty, if the girl turns out to be not very conventionally attractive.

It seems very fakey-fake French. It would be like if the word “Pretty” suddenly took off as a name in non-English-speaking countries. It’s kind of cheap and flimsy and lacking in historical context to ground it.
I know Angelina Jolie’s mother was French, but that doesn’t mean she had good taste or is an authority on French names.

Bella feels a bit like that to me as Italian , though at least it can be considered a nickname/derivative of Isabella? Still it’s as if Beauty or Beautiful became a name.

It’s okay. Similar to Julie or Josie.
