Re: Jolie
It seems very fakey-fake French. It would be like if the word “Pretty” suddenly took off as a name in non-English-speaking countries. It’s kind of cheap and flimsy and lacking in historical context to ground it.I know Angelina Jolie’s mother was French, but that doesn’t mean she had good taste or is an authority on French names.

Bella feels a bit like that to me as Italian , though at least it can be considered a nickname/derivative of Isabella? Still it’s as if Beauty or Beautiful became a name.
