Joley-Like it. I would spell it the traditional way- "Jolie" to be more feminine and mean "pretty". It was on the charts breifly in the 70's, and jumped back on in 2000, growing in popularity since then (maybe a link to Angelina Jolie?)
Zoe- Hate it. It's a muppet.. like naming your kid Elmo. And it's overused.
Ada- Very pretty and old fashioned. It was popular in the 1800's, and is just coming back a tiny bit. Enough that it's not weird, but not enough that she would be likely to ever run into another Ada.
Aureila- Looks like "or-AY-lah". Is that right? If so, I'm not a big fan, but I do like "or-ee-ELL-ah"
