Help[Opinions] Re: Joel
in reply to a message by CherryFrog
I love Joel. Don't know why it is not popular in USA/UK etc. But then Joseph (Josef) is not popular in Sweden but Joel is (we pronounce it YO-ell here).

Joel is a nice name but since we'll likely use Joseph as a mn for a son, we wouldn't consider it. To me it seems like a modern version of Joseph (I'm sure that is not accurate though)... I hadn't thought of pronunciations other than the one syllable way, but after reading other posts I think I prefer yo-ELL but imagine that would be difficult to use in the US.
