hi,
i have Lena for a first name for sure and a few options for a middle name to go with it. First option and the one my husband, son and I like the best is Jolie pronounced French style: "zsholee". We like how it sounds together and it means "pretty light". Also would be in honor of my mother, middle name Josephine and my only sister, middle name Jo. My only concern is that it will be associated with angelina jolie...not that she isn't a fine person but i am worried about the tabloid conotation. what do you think?

I don't think it matters if it's the middle name,

Jolie actually just means "pretty." It's also Angelina Jolie's middle name...not her last. If you're using it as a middle name also, I don't see the problem, since most people may not even know it.

I think Lena Jolie is lovely and I don't think it's a problem that it's also Angelina's name since you're using it in the middle.

thanks for input everyone! i really love lena and want a mn that jazzes it up a bit and feels a little more exotic to balance out the solidness of it. any suggestions would be great!
i also have:
lena mae
lena lucia
lena sophia.....
thanks again!
