[Opinions] Re: Noelle

Noelle is no-EL, like Christmas - but Noel is NO-ul, to me.
I'm okay with Noelle and it actually does not make me think of Christmas. I wouldn't think it was strange to use it for a child not born at Xmastime. I dunno, just picture a woman named Noelle every day of her life, to temper the association you have. They're out there, 365 days a year Noelle.
Reading those smushes, the NO in it is really jumping out at me. Noella = No Ella. Noellen = No Ellen. Noellena = No Ellena. Consider them "X"-ed. =)
