Joel- what do you think?

[Tuppers85]

Hi all,

Any opinions on the name Joel? I love it but worried it may be a bit old fashioned....

I really quite like it!!!

I like it, I love old/biblical boys names. Also like Jude and Seth :)

And Jared/Jed

I love Joel - there is one at our school in Y5 - I think it is a lovely name.

Like it, don't think it's old-fashioned at all, it's timeless and classic.

My friend has a boy called Joel he's amazing so I love love love the name!

I like it. Classic without being too common

Thank you all

I hate it, but mostly because in my accent it just sounds horrible (sounds like Joh), unless I make a real effort to say it properly. Also hate Noel for the same reason.

I like it. I know a couple. One is pron Jole and the other is Jo-Ell.

I dislike saying it. I have a nephew with this name. It feels an awkward sound to make. Can't explain properly but the 'owlll' sound is just not pleasing to me.

I know 2 Joel's. I wouldn't choose it but each to their own!

Love it! We can't use it for various reasons but otherwise would be def on my short list. Especially as our surname begins with a J so would be a classic name combo [sob]

I love it! Know a baby Joel, and one in Year 10. It always makes me think of the cricketer Joel Garner, which is no bad thing!

Love it!

it's a lovely name.

Love it!

love love love it!

It's a nice name. I know 3 little Joel's.

I love it-beautiful and strong !!!

I think that you have found a really nice name there Tuppers.

I only know 1 little Joel - he's great and so is the name!

It's lovely, I only know one, he is my 22 year old nephew and he is the most lovely young man I have ever met. Just hope DS grows up to be like him. He is so lovely in fact, him and his girlfriend are having DCs for 4 days so we can go away somewhere nice, and he offered!

So to me Joel is a most lovely name.
