[Opinions] Jolene

It's a lovely name by itself and I think on the right person it's gorgeous. I can see potential with the nickname Joly (Jo-lee). However personally, it's got too much negative association for me between the Dolly Parton song (which my grandma - bless her heart- used to blast full volume and then launch into a bunch of sob stories about how her sister always stole the boys she wanted to date when they were younger so that image stayed stuck in my head) combined with a girl I went to high school with who was Regina level mean girl.
Your grandma must have been wonderful. Great memory!
Actually, she and I had a very complicated relationship. It was messy, and she was very narcissistic.
It’s an ok name in itself but too Dolly Parton.
Love it
My only context for it is that song, which puts me right off. Apart from that, it seems to have been invented to feminise Jo-. Fine, if that solves a problem for anyone; it doesn't work for me.
Don't like it at all, another J sibling isn't good
