I woke up about 20 minutes ago with the name Noel on my mind. (I'm not even sure if it is pronounced the way I'm thinking of it)

Is it pronounced like the word Noel or does ir rhyme with the word role?

I pronounce it so it rhymes with role.

Anyway, middle name suggestions please.

Noel is my uncle's name, he was born on Christmas Day. We pronounce it to rhyme with the word role. I like it

Noel is a great name for a boy born on or near Christmas. :-)

God bless,

I pronounce it like no-ELLE. Noel is my sister's middle name (fn is Laura), so I like it a lot, even if it should be spelled like Noelle if it's on a girl.

I have known a Noel who pronounced it in the way that rhymes with roll. Another way to avoid pronunciation confusion (if it appeals to you) would be to use Nolan and then call him Nol.

I posted about this name awhile ago and the general consensus was prn. nole, like role. I really like it, but I worry about the first day of school the teacher calling out no-EL and maybe some kind of teasing happening.

I pn it like you do...No-el is more Noelle, the feminine form. Again, my opinion.

I really like it

I say it to rhyme with role. Don't like it particularly but the I can't think of any Christmas related names I love. Where I live it's a very middle-aged, elderly name.

I think quite a few people pronounce it the way you do. My Dad's name is Noel, but we pronounce it somewhere between NO-el and NO-wel.

I pronounce it one syllable, like you do (yes, it rhymes with role). It's NMSAA. However, I adore Noelle for a girl.
