Noelle?

[toffeebuno]

I love this name (girl) but not having a December or Christmas baby, would it be weird to use it?

If so does anyone have any suggestions, it's the sound of this name i like rather than the Christmas theme.

I knew a Holly born in September and Robin born in May. I think it's fine to use so called "Christmas names" for babies born all year round. Also, for me anyway, upon hearing those types of names, I don't tend to think of Christmas.

Dd has a friend noelle who is a spring baby. I stupidly didn't equate it with a Christmas name . I think it's lovely, unusual but not unheard of or hard to pronounce. Go for it!

I like it.

I used to know a Spanish girl called Noelia which I always thought was pretty.

My mw years ago was called Noelle. Lovely woman!!

I actually think it would be a bit naff/unimaginative to use it for a Christmas baby. Rather than being weird, I think it would be better used for a baby born at a different time of year.

i think the christmas connotation is a bit stronger than with Holly or Robin for Noelle (maybe thats just me?)

I think it would be awful as a Christmas name but lovely not. Although she would get asked if she was born at Christmas and sung it a lot regardless.

My auntie'a middle name was Noeline as she was born on Christmas Eve- I like that.

PS I don't think it sounds over Christmassy at all- it's just more commonly used then, I guess.

Beautiful name for any time of year

Noelle is very Christmassy - it's not like Robin or Holly at all, which I don't particularly associate with Christmas. Noel/Noelle actually means Christmas. Nevertheless, people call babies June or April, without necessarily being born in those months. I think it's OK.

I agree it is more Christmassy than Holly!

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I was going to use Noelle for a girl 😍😍
However this little wiggly one is a boy!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Noelle and will probably use if we have a girl in the future 😍

What about Narelle instead

If I ever have a girl I would name her Noelle and I wouldn't care what time of year she is born. I have met many males named Noel (not so popular these days) and never queried if they were an Xmas baby. Go for it.

not loving Narelle but thanks for the suggestion

What about Noella

It's a lovely name any time of year

Maverick that shouts Nutella to me!!

LOVE Noelle

So pretty! Love it!

I'm really really sorry about this but all I can think of is Noelle below us, Above us only sky.

My heroine as a 7-year-old was a Year 6 girl called Noelle who did flute lessons alongside me.

It's a lovely name and doesn't say Christmas to me at all.
