My name is Jolyon and it's pronounced jol-i-on. Three syllables. It's not joe-li-on or jo-lion or joel-ian. Most people can't get this and call me Jol. Please remember this as most Jolyons get bored of saying it. Thanks for your time.
Like many names, Jolyon has many pronunciations. My son is named Jolyon and we pronounce it JOE-lee-un. I think it is beautiful written and spoken.
In "The Forsyte Saga" miniseries, Jolyon is pronounced JOE-lee-uhn, not Jolly-awn. It sounds quite like Julian but with a Jo- sound instead of Ju-.
