Though I've never seen it spelled joely. That looks incorrectly spelled to me, but my first language was French and it's the French word for pretty, spelled jolie. So that's why..

I've always loved Jolie... but you're right on the Angelina thing. The funny thing is, I've never even thought about that! Everyone else would, though. I think Joely is how the actress who plays Julia on Nip/Tuck spells it. That's what I thought of before Angelina. That's because I watch Nip/Tuck and don't ever think about Angelina Jolie... probably the opposite of most
I agree that Joely is JOE-lee and Jolie is zho-LEE. However, I've studied French, so I think of it as the word for pretty rather than as Angelina Jolie's last name. But most people would be more likelyl to associate it with Angelina Jolie. People say "Angelina jo-Lee." So, a lot of people (including pp) would pronounce it that way and you might have to correct them on it.
I think you are wrong. I would pronounce Jolie JOE-lee. Joely too me would almost be pronounced like a adjective...you know something is squishy or bubbly....it would be Joely...Joel-ee.
Re: joely vs. jolie.
I'd pronounce the first JOEL-ee
I'd pronounce the second joe-LEE
They'd sound pretty close though.?
Exactly this.
