786.0. "Joelle" by GLDOA::LEICHTY () Wed Apr 29 1992 12:09

    Well I went through this conference thinking for sure I would see my
    name in here somewhere but I didn't, unless I missed it!  My name is
    Joelle.  French I think, but I have no idea what it means as I cannot
    find it any name books.  Has anyone heard of it that can tell me what
    it means??  I have heard of 2 other people with that name but have
    never met anyone.  In a way I am kind of glad that I have a very
    uncommon name.
    
    My parents decided to name me that (if I was a girl that is) after
    seeing a Brut Cologne commercial.  The girl who was the spokesmodel was
    named Joelle and they really liked it.  I was to be named Scott if I
    was a boy, which is wierd because I ended up marrying a Scott.  Funny,
    huh?

    In first grade I knew a girl named Joella - that was the only time I've
    ever heard it.

    I have known a Joelle.  I have also known a Jolie (as in french for
    pretty).  I have no idea what it means, but it is a very pretty name.

Joelle,

It's a very beautiful name - especially in the French pronouciation
(soft J almost like zsa zsa, and a rolling L).  I chose it as my name
for one of my French classes.  Not sure what it means, but all the
French words that are close to it have great meanings:

	Joyau = jewel
	Joyeu = joy; cheerful; merry
	Jolie = pretty; nice
	and Elle = she

-Cori

786.4Used my own name in french class!GLDOA::LEICHTYTue May 19 1992 17:004
    I took three years of french and never got to pick a name, always used
    my own since it was french.  Thank you all for the compliments!

    You had to re-name yourself for french class? I don't understand.
    
    I too think it is a very nice name, although, having lived in
    French Canada almost all my life, I cannot ever remember coming
    across a Joelle. (reminds me more of a feminization of the name
    "Joel")
