[Opinions] Re: Noel
in reply to a message by Bear
But, do you think the pronunciation NO-EL on a boy would sound bad? In my opinion it has the same nice gentle flow of Noah in someways.

I love the sound. But everyone (here in the US) will assume it's a girl's name with that pronunciation. If that doesn't bother you, then fine.

For a boy--if you're saying it NO-uhl (or NOLE), I think it would be fine. But NO-ell or no-ELL for a boy would be confusing and probably evoke teasing. Unfortunately. ~Heather~
