Saw this name recently and thought it was quite unusual - we're not really getting on well picking a girl name but both of us think we like this...any thoughts?

Don't like Noel particularly but if I spelled it Noleen, it doesn't have to be the feminine version...does it?

Didn't realise it was very common - I think we were aware of the name but never met or heard of anyone called it. :-(

Really? Doesn't everyone call you No-Line (rhyming with pine)?

I'm Irish btw

Mine is spelt Noeline

Very common in Ireland, spelt Noeleen though (feminine version of Noel).

Common amongst 45-70 year olds, that is.

I was serious Gary - is it that bad?

I didn't know it was Australian? Sounded more Celtic to me?

Sounds like a middle-aged Australian woman to me, sorry.
