[name]Alys[/name] [name]Jolien[/name] has joined our brood! She surprised us at 36 weeks. She’s small (5 lbs, 3 oz and 18 inches long), but doing very well. She came home after a week in the NICU, and is now almost four weeks old!
Congratulations! [name]Lovely[/name] name 
Congratulations! [name]Alys[/name] [name]Jolien[/name] is very pretty! It goes so well with your children’s names, too. Out of curiosity, how do you say it? My first instinct was [name]AL[/name]-iss joe-lee-EN…
All the best!
Congratulations, glad to hear that she is progressing so well. [name]Alys[/name] [name]Jolien[/name] is a pretty name.
rollo
Congratulations!
Thank you!
ashthedreamer, [name]Alys[/name] is another spelling of [name]Alice[/name], and [name]Jolien[/name] is pronounced yo-LEEN. It’s the Flemish form of [name]Jolie[/name]. I was born and raised in the Netherlands to a Flemish mother, so we’re trying to incorporate Dutch and/or Flemish into our children’s names.
Nice name! Congratulations!!
Amazing name! I love it!!! [name]Alys[/name] [name]Jolien[/name] is sooo different
I thought maybe that was the case! I’ve seen other Dutch names that end in -ien, so I thought it might be Dutch, but I don’t have a ton of experience with pronouncing Dutch names. [name]Alys[/name] [name]Jolien[/name] is very pretty!
[name]How[/name] cool is that! Great way to honor your heritage. Congratulations on your new gal and how blessed you are to have such a nice large family.
