Help[Opinions] Re: Noelle
in reply to a message by Beth0808
Someone I don't know very well named her summertime baby Noelle a couple years ago. I didn't receive a BA, but I heard it said something like "Noelle is bringing us so much joy, it's like Christmas in July!" I thought that was kinda cute, and it acknowledged that a lot of people are going to look at Noelle and think it's a Christmas name.
I think Noelle is pretty too, but I never know quite what to do with it. Using it at Christmas feels corny to me; using it any other time of year feels sort of wrong. I prefer it for a non-Christmas baby...even as I assume "Christmas baby" when I hear it. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Only the Noelle spelling works for me. I need that ë to turn Noël into no-EL. Without it, I pronounce it NOHL, and I think it's all boy.
Noella's nice enough, but I prefer Noelle.
