Does the french name Jolie need an accent mark?

Does the name Jolie need an accent mark in it to be pronounced in french?...


the french pronunciation is zhoh-lee, and I am wondering if there should be an accent mark above the o in order to be pronounced this way.

Reply:No you wouldnt put an accent on the o.


Jolie is actually a french word, meaning pretty/attractive. Make sure you're still pronouncing the j and not making the start of the word into an elongated z sound.
Reply:No. Jolie does not have any accents on it. If it had an accent on the final e it would be pronounced zhoh-lee-ay. An accent on the o wouldn't produce a change in pronunciation but merely indicates that there used to be an s after the vowel, don't ask me what that's about.
Reply:If you don't put an accent on the i, Americans will say JO lee. If you want it French, you'll have to put an accent over the i--zhoh-LEE. I don't care for Angelina, but I love either way you pronounce this name.

Reply:nope, not at all...its just the thick french accent that makes it sound like that
Reply:no, the word in french doesnt have an accent and ive never heard it pronounce with a zh... only a funny 'j'
