My middle name is Jolene, after my grandmother, of the same name. I think it's pretty, Kaitlyn Jolene...
Then again it also sounds super country!

It’s a great song and Dolly Parton is a legend, but I wouldn’t name my DD Jolene. Now a caravan, or a pet on the other hand, sure thing! I’d prefer to use Dolly in all seriousness!

I hear she is beautiful beyond compare with a voice like summer rain.

It's always going to be associated with Dolly Parton. Now, depending on your point of view, that could be a good or bad thing. Dolly is amazing and too good for this world, but anyone named Jolene will have to deal with people singing the song whenever she introduces herself.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene!
I’m begging of you please don’t use this name.

It’s far too connected with the song.

Hi !!!

Jolene?
It isn't tasty in my opinion.

I would prefer Jolie or Jewel.

Ask Diane

Seriously though I really like the name but think it’s very heavily tired to the song now.

Sounds very southern, I don't like it

It's got a cool, classic edge thanks to the song. I like it.

I prefer Dolly.

I thinks she wants to take my man.
