Noël

Noël / No-elle
Elle- pronounced this way because of the two dots over the e, diaeresis.
This means that the letter that holds the diaeresis is emphasized and separated as it's own letter (creating more than one syllable, often 2)
instead of NOLL (1 syllable) like how Joel is pronounced you put -e emphasis on the e. (creating two syllables No-elle)

Gaëlle- Ga-Elle.

I am a male named Noel... my name is pronounced No-Ell... at least that's how my family have always pronounced it, but if someone called Noll, I don't correct them, but if my mom or sister heard them, they probably would.
