I think it's quite pretty, myself, though it's not at all in my usual style and won't make it to any of my lists. I agree that it's preferable to Addison - I don't like Addison at all really.

I actually really like Anniston, sue me, I know. I much prefer it to the overdone Addison (especially with the super common nn Addy).

It's nice but I would have to have a bit more convincing.

This name is wayyyyyy too trendy and preppy for my taste. It just sounds like a snobby little girl with an Ivy League sweater.

This is nothing like Jolie, which is actually a name, and was her middle name, she made it her last name.

I like it, for some reason. My rational brain tells me this is not a great name, but I am not inclined to listen to my rational brain.
