HelpRe: Joely
in reply to a message by Lily
So pronounced the English way like Angelina Jolie. That's how I'd pronounce it anyway course I speak English. The only celebrity I've ever heard of using that name is Joey Fatone from Nsync used it for one of his daughters middle names, but his daughter is young, born way after the 80's. It was spelled that way because they combined his and her name Joey and Kelly - Joely. The other daughter is Kloey. I don't like the way it looks spelled that way. I like the sound but I'd just stick to Jolie.

Angelina Jolie pronounces it as jo-LEE as far as I know. I don't like Jolie pronounced as JO-lee or jo-LEE because it's incorrect. It's a French word and that's the only history it has unless you say it's a combination of Jo and Lee, I guess. But as the name became popular with the actress my guess is that most people would say jo-LEE.
