Baby Names
Jolijn or Jélin (pronounced Jeelin in Dutch!)
EvitaGuest ·
Our first daughter is Marit Noor, we're expecting a second little girl and I'm curious which name you guys like more: Jolijn or Jélin. I thought Jolijn was a bit too "tuttig" (cutey-pie), and my boyfriend doesn't like Jolien or Elin. Jélin isn't that well-known yet, and we actually think it's a lovely name. We also think Eva is beautiful, but we don't like overly popular names or too unique ones.

Hi Evita,
I think Jolijn is prettier than Jélin. I find Elin less "tuttig" and more special (without it being a weird name) than Jolijn. Jolien feels like a cheerful and feminine name.
Maybe you like Jolinne too? It's kind of in between Jelin and Jolijn.
1) Elin
2) Jolien
3) Jolijn
4) Jélin -

Jolijn is my favorite!
Jélin, well okay, but it comes across to me as a cutout of Jay-linn... -

Pronounced in Dutch, I don't think Jélin is bad.
Jolijn can always work, of course. -

I personally prefer Jolijn. I think it's a bit prettier.
