Re: Jolene
in reply to a message by JoAnMarie
I apologize in advance for my gut reaction :) my DH finds this name "exotic" as well and all I can say is that I'm not one for stereotypes, but I think of a country-bumpkin character. It's not a classy name IMO. I know this is not very nice, and again I apologize.
As far as other Jo names, I like Johanna, Jocelyn or even Josephine (nn Josie is very sweet, and although this last one is nms, it reminds me of Little Women so it's a good option). Hope this helps!

There's no need to apologize, I wanted everyones gut reaction to the name :)
I'm trying to find some way of honoring my grandmother JoAn (who I'm named after myself. My name is Joanna) without it being to close to my own name.
I've been thinking of Jocelyn alot also.
Thank you for replying it did help alot:)
