Comments for the name Joelle

Joelle is pronounced "jo-EL" in English.

In French, this name is somewhat mysterious and mature. Once you convert the name to English, however, it is pronounced "jo-elle" and to me sounds trashy. Ew!

The English pronunciation of this name does not make it sound trashy! My cousin bears this name, and I happen to think it is very lovely.

I think the name Joelle is very pretty. I would pronounce it Jo-Elle. Makes a great middle name too.

I love the name Joelle, it is unique and it is elegant and dainty sounding, not trashy at all.

This name IS trashy.

Joelle happens to be my first name and I'm very proud of it. It makes me feel special to know that my name isn't as common as other names and my name is anything but trashy.

This is my name, and I love it. It can be pronounced: Joe-well, Joe-ell, Zo-elle, Zo-well, Jo-lee. Mine is pronouced Joe-ell, but I love Jo-lee. A nickname for this name could be Joey, Jojo, and Jo.

What a purty, purty name!

I think it is a unique name and also it's not forgettable.

I think this name is very pretty.

I don't think Joelle is trashy at all. I love it. :)

It's not ugly or anything, but it's one of those rather unimaginative names lazily constructed of a male name. It doesn't sound as sophisticated as some people believe. It actually comes off as a name lower middle class people pick because they think it sounds French, and thus prestigious. In French, however, it's a pretty name, even if nothing special.

It is not a bad name, but I prefer the spelling Joellee, it sounds more like a girl's name (and with this pronunciation: Jo-EL-ley).

This is my name. I definitely do not think it's trashy at all! I think my name is pretty unique. I haven't met a lot of Joelles, at most I've ran into three others. I don't really like the nicknames Joey, Jojo, or Jo. Most people call me Joelley, or Jelly. :)

It's definitely not the best name out there, and it sounds a little fake and unimaginative (like Ryanne or Brianne).
It's pretty enough, but it's not very sophisticated. Joey and Jo as well as Elle and Ella make good nicknames.

Rather a pretty name, as is Joella. How childish are those who describe it as trashy! No name derived from the Bible is trashy!
