I'm pretty sure you've heard of at least one person named Jolie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jolie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jolie - but of course she's not French, I guess her parents picked the name because it sounded nice, and she thought it sounded so nice that she picked it as her stage name...

- soco 2y agoI suppose the parent commenter mistook Jolie for Julie which is indeed a common French (and not only) name.
- afelixdorn 2y agoYeah, but that's a last name. I was talking about first names which is usually what people mean when they say a common name. I'm guessing the other commenters are right, GP probably meant "Julie".
- yencabulator 2y agoAngelina Jolie is a stage name. She was born Angelina Jolie Voight. Jolie is a middle name there.
