Noelle.

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.

Noelie is also nice.

Ooh I love it! I also lobbied for it, for a December baby, was vetoed by my DH. I imagine this incredible beautiful and uber cool ice blonde girl when I think of Noelle. I think it's very glamorous.

My mum is a Noelle and is exactly as you describe rejectedprincess! V close to Christmas baby. She likes her name and doesn't mind when people stumble over it and inevitably call her Noel.. my DGM used to call her Nolly as she couldn't say it

I love Noel and Noelle. I love Nova too.

I was thinking about this name the other day I like it

I like it. Makes me think of Noelle Streatfield, author of Ballet Shoes.

Most names I can think of ending with -lle have more than two syllables. Maybe Joelle (I love Joely, though not sure how to spell it), or how about Adele? Estelle, Carole, Nicole, Sybelle, Yael.

She might get fed-up with people assuming she was born at Christmas, but having said that, it's a pretty name, far nicer than names such as Harper or Luna, which seem very popular. I believe the actress Noele Gordon (who was born on Christmas Day) was called Nolly by friends. If you love the name Noelle, then that's the one I would choose.

Joelle
Gaelle
Isabelle
Gabrielle
Danielle
Adele - the athlete Adelle Tracey spells it with two ls although one is more usual
(I once saw Sybelle in a book, and thought it was pretty, but it might look like a mistake for Sybille.)

I really like it and personally wouldn't associate it with Christmas. Its a feminine classy sounding name. Joelle is a pretty alternative too although I don't like the nickname Jo.

@lottiegarbanzo, she was (Mary) Noel Streatfield.

It’s lovely

Love it but only for a baby born late December

Love it. I also like Joelle but had to teach a very unpleasant teen with a very similar name so put me off.

Names that have a similar feel to me...

Lucille
Coralie
Lorelei
Leona

Elle endings...

Aurelle
Mirelle
Axelle
Christelle

It's probably the only -Elle ending name I like. I find the -Elle part quite girly (not surprisingly) so I like the no frills "No" part of it.

I also quite like the Wheatus song.

I also love the Christmas carol, one of my faves. So it would be lovely for a December baby but appreciate that's not your intention.

Beautiful name! Love it!

Always loved this name! I think it’s so pretty

I think Noelle is really lovely! I can imagine a super cute little girl Noelle ☺️

I like it. Sounds French. She’ll have to spell it out all the time.

I love it!

You're all too young to remember Crossroads Motel, aren't you?

Noelle..... hmmmmmm. Will it be 'The First?'
In your family?

I like it. It’s a pretty name.

Lovely

It's beautiful

I like it, but prefer Noella. However for me personally I could only use it for a December baby!
