I love Jackson William Smith.

Joelle isn't really my style as a girls' FN but it isn't bad at all. Nancy is a cute MN. I do think it might be a good name choice since Smith is such a common LN, there might not be a lot of Joelle Smiths in the world!

Good luck!

Very nice. They flow well together. It's refreshing to see a girl name that's not popular. Jackson may be a little more trendier, but I still like it.

Just a few questions:


Joelle Nancy Smith (for a girl): Is it pronounced "Jole" or "Joe-elle"? Might be frequently mispronounced.


Jackson William Smith (for a boy): The first thing that popped in my mind was Michael Jackson and the allegations brought against him. I'd probably opt for just "Jack" myself.


Hope this helps.

Joelle is pretty and feminine, although I prefer Jolie. I love Nancy because Nancy is my favorite aunt's name and I like to see such nice names being used again.

Jackson and Jack are darling. Great names for little boys or grown men. Jacks/Jax is a cute nickname for either. William is one of my favorite middle names and works well with Jackson.

Good luck to you!

I do not Like Jackson since it is a a last name, Son of Jack.

But Joelle is lovely.

I think Joelle is very pretty, but I'm not as fond of Nancy. Is that a family name? If so, then I think that's great, but if not, it's just not my style. I know one other Joelle, and she went by Joey as a little girl -- very cute! Also, it never occurred to me to pronounce Joelle any other way than Jo-elle, so assuming that's how you're saying it, I don't think that will be confusing at all.

Jackson William is nice, too. I really like the nn Jack. If we had a boy this time, we were going to name him John after my grandfather, but call him Jack.

Good choices!
