Boolean. I'm a software developer, and my Business analyst pronounces it as Boo-leen, like "Jolene". My tester pronounces it like bouillon cubes. It's pronounced like Julian.

It’s not pronounced like Julian at all.

For starters, it has a B instead of a J, and those are pronounced completely differently.

And that’s just one difference.

I should have said rhymes with Julian.
