My lovely grandpa, so I think it's a great name.

But... he was born on Christmas Day...

I like it when I hear it.

But when I see it written I only think of Christmas.

My DH!! (Yes christmas baby). He hates it. Bizarrely often gets lengthened to 'noely' by his friends (which I hate!). Has also once been confused for 'Mole' when asked his name. He also bears a very slight resemblance to Noel from Hearsay (remember them??!!). Thank god for him they didn't stick around for long.... (Although we did once bump into him on a beach in Jersey. That was weird...!)

After Gallagher I bizarrely think of Noel from hearsay, in case that puts your DH off!

Noel G has a son called Donovan I think. What about that?
