Do you like the name Joella?

Thoughts on the name [name_f]Joella[/name_f]? We were thinking [name_u]Joey[/name_u] for a nickname.

I like it but prefer [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] ([name_f]Joella[/name_f] looks somewhat made up to me and feels a bit too clunky for my taste). Perhaps you’d like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Joey[/name_u]/[name_u]Josie[/name_u] or [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] nn [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]

I like [name_u]Joey[/name_u] better than [name_f]Joelle[/name_f].

[name_f]Joella[/name_f] is sweet though i do prefer [name_f]Joelle[/name_f]. [name_u]Joey[/name_u] makes a cute nickname

Personally, I much prefer other ‘[name_u]Jo[/name_u]’ names such as [name_u]Josie[/name_u], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Josetta[/name_f], [name_f]Josette[/name_f], [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Joni[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Joelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Joelene[/name_f] but [name_f]Joella[/name_f] is cute too. [name_u]Joey[/name_u] is an adorable nn.

I like [name_f]Joella[/name_f]! Like others, I prefer [name_f]Joelle[/name_f], but I think both names are pretty, and the nickname [name_u]Joey[/name_u] is adorable on a girl.

It’s okay. We have a billion Joelles and Jolenes where I live, so it doesn’t stand out much to me. Very Southern. I prefer [name_f]Joetta[/name_f].

[name_f]Joella[/name_f] sounds a bit off to me. But then again, I’ve never heard or met anyone with this name in person…

[name_f]Jolene[/name_f] was my first thought as an alternative.

I’m not a fan, sorry. I much prefer [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Jolene[/name_f], [name_u]Joyce[/name_u] or even [name_f]Joceline[/name_f]/[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f].

I think [name_f]Joella[/name_f] nn [name_u]Joey[/name_u] is very cute! It sounds very Southern to my ears, but I think it sounds really beautiful as well.
