I agree with your second comment. I see Noel as strictly male too. Still if I encountered a Noel here in the Netherlands, I'd assume it was no-EL. If I met a Noel in an English speaking country I'd assume it was NOL.

+edit: no-EL pronunciation doesn't make it feminine for me, if that's what you thought I meant.
