Good name. All his Christmas cards with follow a theme, though.

Edmonds

MamaLazarou · 04/06/2015 20:17

When I was little, I thought Noel edmonds was called 'No Lemons' Grin

aoife24 · 04/06/2015 20:22

That git off the Mighty Boosh.

prepperpig · 04/06/2015 20:23

Edmonds (with Mr Blobby) and Gallagher

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 04/06/2015 20:32

Edmonds, don't like it.

DramaAlpaca · 04/06/2015 20:34

Gallagher.

I don't like the name. Sorry!

skinnyamericano · 04/06/2015 20:35

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

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

SnotQueen · 04/06/2015 20:36

Mama Grin that's great!

I think of Noel's House Party
The First Noel
and that Mr Blobby song Confused

I like it when I hear it.

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

Noel Coward.
Noel Streatfeild.
Noel Gallagher.
Noel Edmonds.
Christmas.

"Born is the King of Israel!"

TeacupDrama · 04/06/2015 20:41

First thought they were born within a week of christmas

PeppermintCrayon · 04/06/2015 20:42

I think of The Mighty Boosh and Pretty Little Liars. It's a great name though...

StayGoldPonyBoy · 04/06/2015 20:42

Gallagher, but I can't help but read it as No-Elle like Christmas.

pinkje · 04/06/2015 20:43

Leon back-to-front

PeppermintCrayon · 04/06/2015 20:44

HOW have I never noticed that before...

bippityboppitypoo · 04/06/2015 20:52

Edmonds

Brindler · 04/06/2015 20:55

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...!)

HmmAnOxfordComma · 04/06/2015 21:29

Christmas.

AugustaGloop · 04/06/2015 21:34

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?

dollysflop · 04/06/2015 21:37

The Mighty Boosh

sebsmummy1 · 04/06/2015 21:39

Christmas and Edmunds.

TheCowThatLaughs · 04/06/2015 21:42

Someone I used to know who was called Noel Pine

iwouldgoouttonight · 04/06/2015 21:45

Fielding. Then about ten seconds later Edmunds. I like Leon though.
