|  |     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

| 786.4 | Used my own name in french class! | GLDOA::LEICHTY |  | Tue May 19 1992 16:00 | 4 | 
|  |     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!

| 786.5 | picking a name? | KAOFS::M_BARNEY | Formerly Ms.Fett | Mon May 17 1993 14:38 | 9 | 
|  |     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")
