Opinions on Noel?

[Justinny]

What do you think of the name Noel?

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

It's Okay, I don't dislike it.
I prefer it reversed, Leon.

[Sophronia]

I really like it.

[KatherinaMinola]

Love it, but only for a Christmas baby (in case that needs saying).

[BlondeGinger]

Love it. My lovely, crazy granddad was a Noel so I'll use it somewhere in my boys name if I ever have one.

[vitaminC]

It makes me think of Noel Edmunds.
I prefer Noelle on a girl.

[Imfinehowareyou]

Will you pronounce it nole or no-all?

[longtermsinglemummy]

My Dad, lovely Grandad and cousin are all Noels. Love it.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Dislike it. Was really popular in Ireland in the 70s so sounds ultra dated to me. Also Noel Edmonds. Also it rhymes with hole.

[DramaAlpaca]

Sugarpie I was going to say I prefer it reversed too - Leon is nice.

I really don't like Noel. I don't like names beginning with 'No' it seems. I dislike Noah too.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

And Noelle is just as bad.

[thebakerwithboobs]

Like it, and Joel.

Edmonds

[AndNoneForGretchenWieners]

I like it, it's not very common these days so sounds refreshing.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

DramaAlpaca, me too. 🤔

[GinIsIn]

Bit dated. Edmunds.

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

It makes me think of Edmunds/Mr Blobby too, but them I am quite old

[mummabearfoyrbabybears]

It just doesn't roll of my tongue well.

[thebakerwithboobs]

The Christmas thing is a non issue. (And that's from me-my name is January, I was born in June....)

[HalfCarrot]

It's fine till he has a house party.

[EverbodyTalkAboutPopMusic]

at Half

[maitaimojito]

Not a fan, although I love Joel.

[buttercup54321]

Really dislike it.

[LarrytheCucumber]

I have met two very nice adult Noels recently. It doesn't have to be a Christmas name. I like it.
