[Opinions] Noel / Noelle ?

Which one do you think is better for a girl?I think this name is cute and suitable for any age of girls.Would it be strange as a girl that is not born in December or not even a Christian?

I prefer Noelle for a girl. Noel is a male name, to me.I don't think it would be strange if she's not born in December or Christian. I would use it for my own daughter, and I'm not Christian. It's a beautiful name.

Noelle for a girl prn. No-Elle. Noel spelling is all boy to me, and is prn. differently ( Nole, rhymes with Mole)I think Noelle is very sweet, and fine for a girl born any time of year.

I love both, bot Noel for a boy and Noelle for a girl.
I haven't met any, but I don't think it would be strange at all on someone not born in December, or on someone who isn't Christian (what does that have to do with anything?)
Love it, and I would use it even if the child was born in July.

I think Noelle is much better for a girl. I always liked it. It does seem just a bit odd to see it on a girl not born around Xmastime, but that's only because it is already established a reputation as a name for Xmastime babies. I have a cousin born then whose name is Holly Noelle.But it's really no stranger than a girl named April who was born in August or November. Popular across the board. Though it doesn't seem to get much use now.I guess it depends on what religion and how strongly the parents feel about it. In general I say it's not strange.

I'm an April born in August. Funny you should pair those two together! :) I think Noelle can be used any time of year as well.

Noelle is definitely better for a girl. Where I live Noel for a girl would be no big deal, but Noel strikes me as too masculine. I'm not overly fond of Noel for a girl myself.

For a girl Noelle, Noel is to masculine.I think it would be odd on a spring or summer baby, but for a winter baby born in the weeks around Christmas it could work, even if your not christian, I'm not a christian and I love celebrating christmas, but without nativity story (we celebrate christmas with family, nice food, decorating the house, lot's of gifts)
