Jo-elle

So now its official...my name is pronounced "Jo-elle", as a concession
that one syllable Joel is just too easily confused with Jo or John for
francophones. Even Americans who I meet, will be introduced to me as
that, though I don't envision keeping it once back in the states. It
only sounds ok when its accompanied with other French, thats for sure!
In other contexts, I think it is just a woman's name :)
