Just that really. Would like feedback (not bothered about it being a wintry name re month she'll be born etc) and am open to any suggestions of similar sounding names preferably with 2 syllables ending -elle.

IMO you should only call a child born in December Noelle. I used to know a Noella who was born on Christmas Day.

Loopyloututu2 · 24/02/2021 21:19

I like it.

... Noelle, Noelle, Noelle, born is the king of Israel.

Cant think of it any other way. Except maybe Noel Edmonds.

I absolutely love it

ftmum94 · 24/02/2021 20:38

I love Noelle! Can’t get it past the husband though who vetos every time.

Too christmassy.

Noelle is okay, but does sound super Christmassy to me - far more than than the boys Noel (I think it's because the Noelle sound is used more in carols?).

For me Noelle is nicer than Michelle and Danielle, but not as pretty as lovely Estelle imo. Giselle and Adele I'd put in the middle, but I still prefer over Noelle.

I love it. To me it’s unusual and slightly exotic. Very pretty too.

DramaAlpaca · 24/02/2021 16:10

Also no from me. It's very dated and not in a granny chic way.

I probably dislike it because I don't like Noel, the male form of the name.

I tend not to like names with 'no' in them - Noel, Noah, Nora etc.

minionme · 24/02/2021 16:09

It's nice 👍

partyatthepalace · 24/02/2021 16:08

I don't like it - reminds me of out of tune carol singing and yes, Noel Edmunds.

Estelle? I like Estella and Stella better though
Ishbel - it's Scottish so I think the extra le might be odd at the end
Danielle is v dated and downmarket so you probably wouldn't want that Sibyl - nearly works

Other than that there are lots of 3 syllable ones...

VenusClapTrap · 24/02/2021 13:07

It’s a no from me. Just makes me think of Noel Edmonds.
