Joel (Yoel) is the same as the female name Jael (Yael). "Yo" or "Ya" is a name for G*D, and so is El (also spelled/pronounced Eil), so the name means "G*D is G*D," or "YHVH is (the only) G*D." It's a great name.

Brilliant. Thanks a lot. So... Yoel? Interesting... That's what my German tutor calls me because she can't pronounce my name! I think Joel's better though

Rivka Hanna.
And yeah, HAHN-na. Not HAN-nuh.
Most of my friends call me Riki for it, though.

Divash and I have discussed this before but naturally I forgot everything she said. whee Sorry.
I don't have a Hebrew name. My first name is Catherine, which I'm fond of. My middle name is Adele, which I love and hear is rather Hebrew. What could you tell me about both names?

I would suggest looking up both Catherine and Adele on the various baby name websites (Google for "baby name"), finding their meanings, and then going to the section on Hebrew names to see if you can find a name with a similar meaning.
Either that, or find various Hebrew names that you like (sound, meaning, or the way they look on the written page in Hebrew print or script), and choose from among those. You won't get a real Hebrew name until your conversion ceremony, so you have lots of time to choose.

For various reasons, no one knows the name I was given when I had my brit milah.
I think in such circumstances you're allowed to choose a Hebrew name, in which case mine would be Dan Moshe to fit in which my given names.

I didn't know that you got to choose. Does that come standard? Even if you are born to it?
I'm kinda stuck on what a similar meaning to my name would be, as "Brittany"="of Britain" bummer. I have always been kinda disappointed in what my name means, though I like the sound of it. Middle name is Starr-what is the Hebrew word for star? Or similar?

Yes, if you were not given a Hebrew name, you're allowed to choose one at any stage of your life. I think the procedure is that it becomes your official Hebrew name when you are called that name in public for a religous purpose (eg. being called up to read from the Torah).
Also, a Hebrew name doesn't necessarily have to be an "equivalent" to your English name. You can pick any name.

Middle name is Starr-what is the Hebrew word for star? Or similar? Instead of going with a similar meaning to Brittany, perhaps go with a Hebrew name that has a similar sound. For instance, Brachah (blessing), Batya (daughter of G*D), Britah (brit = covenant), or something along those lines. Hebrew for star can be Mazal (which also means luck, fortune, as in "mazal tov," which translates to "good star") or also Kochav, which can be made feminine by changing it to Kochavah or Kochvah. I know a girl named Mazal Brachah, "blessed star."
