No one names their son Yoilie. It is a nickname.

The irony is that Yoel is an extremely common name in Tanach. In fact it was the second most popular name during the times of the Neviim (the first one was Meshulam). It’s unfortunate that people always immediately associate this name with a certain figure and ideology.
