[Opinions] Re: Jolene
in reply to a message by JoAnMarie
For me, it goes hand in hand with Dolly Parton's song. When I say "Jolene", I almost have to stop myself continuing with "I'm begging of you please don't take my man."
I'm terrible with connotations sometimes! I'd spell it Joleen to minimise this.
Also, I think it sounds a bit dated. Most "een" names do. Maureen, Arlene, Noreen, Doreen ...
