ArchivesRe: MN spelling issue-Noel
in reply to a message by anxiolytics
Although I have seen Noel used on females, Noelle is the female version of Noel. Both can be pronounced No-El, or Noel can be pronounced NOL.
I wouldn't think it's a big deal if you used Noel for a MN on a girl (by the way, I love the name Saoirse) because not a lot of people will see it, and I suppose a lot of people these days are using boy's names on girls anyway, not that I condone following that trend. :)

Thank you both for responding.

I don't either, that's why I wanted to pose the question as some sites say Noel is unisex. I was leaning toward Noelle for gender reasons but met a woman with her MN spelled Noel-and a few family members I asked actually like Noel better-and my husband has left it up to me- hence my indecision!
Spelling it the feminine way might make more sense should she ever want to use her middle name as her first name for whatever reason.
