Comments for NOELLE:

My name is Noelle. In the 50's and 60's it was not at all popular or common. I got lots of teasing about it. I hated my name because it was so different. I am 50 now, and I love my name because it is so different.

When I was younger, I used to HATE it when people sang my name all the time. I would blush in church as Christmas when the familiar Christmas carol was sung, and everyone would turn around and smile at me. As I got into high school, I realized my name was unique, and I've LOVED it since then! Everyone is constantly telling me how beautiful my name is, and I couldn't be more flattered. I love that very few people share my name, and this feeling has inspired me to give my children unique names as well!

I find Noelle very lovely and delicate. It's the middle name of my little sister and several others that I know, but I only know one woman with Noelle as her first name.

Nice name :) I'd probably end up using this name if I have a daughter in December time.

The name Noelle, as well as Noel, comes from the same root as the word for nativity. It means birth or life.

Famous Bearer(s): The middle name of Singer JoJo (born JoAnna Levesque) is Noelle. It is also the middle name of actress Katie Holmes (born Katherine Noelle Holmes).

I think it would make a beautiful name for a girl/woman.

I think Noelle is one of the most beautiful names I have ever heard. I hope it doesn't get trendy because I would love to give it to my daughter someday if I have a girl.

Noelle Roques is a French model.

This is my middle name (although I spell it Noel). Instead of being embarrassed by the Christmas song, I revelled in the association; I went around telling everyone I was the 'first Noel'.

This is a great name for you if you were born on Christmas!

This is my middle name, my birthday is on January 1st but I was due on December 24th and my mum had set that name from that day she was told. I don't like it, I try to hide it from everyone. My husband and my son (he's only 4!) keep calling me Noella to annoy me and it works.

This is such a beautiful name! But it seems like everyone with this name doesn't like it. I love it, and would use it any day.

I like the musicality and elegant quality of this very beautiful name. If it were my name, I'd tattoo it on my forehead!

My middle name is Noelle and I adore it! I like Noelle much better than Noel, especially for girls. I also really like the origin and meaning of this name.
-- reverie  10/26/2007
Noelle is a pretty name. Just as long as it isn't used in December. Sorry, I mean just as long as it isn't used BECAUSE the kid is born in December.
-- scholasticastewart  12/27/2007
I LOVE this name! I really want to use it if I have a daughter (although it depends on what my future married name is!) I think the spelling differentiates it from the Christmas meaning - you don't immediately think of "Joyeux Noel" when you first see it, and I love that.
-- Gillza1502  3/23/2008
It's better than Joelle, but quite dull, and common as a middle name. It sounds quite pretty, but I'm not one for religious names.

My middle name, used to hate it, now I love it and it's not pronounced Noel, it's Noelle as in NO-L even though it has 2 Ls. You know what I mean? Or is it the Americans that say Noel to Noelle?
-- nadianoelle  9/5/2008
My name is Noelle. I was born 9 nine days before Christmas. I was sick when I was born and I didn't get out until Christmas day. That was when my mom decided to name me Noelle. I personally hate the name. All my friends, teachers, etc. think it's so pretty and love the name they go around singing that first Noelle song to me. And when this one boy found out that in French it means Santa Claus he came over to me and sat on my lap telling me he wanted a pony for Christmas. I hate my name. It is so annoying.
-- elleExplosion  11/28/2008
I think this is a very pretty and classic name, also not too overused yet. I would definitely name a daughter this if she was born around Christmastime.
-- faye  1/24/2009
I know a girl who spells her name "Noell" without the extra E at the end.

I think this name is so pretty! I think a good name for a sister of someone called Noelle is Rhona. Rhona and Noelle sounds nice. :D

I like this name. Although its' overused, it's clean and pretty.

A good name for Christmas bay girls, as a less common alternative to Holly.
-- Hushpuppy  8/29/2011
Noelle is a very pretty name for girls, especially the ones born around Christmas.
-- Kinola  12/7/2011
I think this name has a pretty sound, and I like that it has a religious connotation without being obnoxious (Christian, Trinity, Faith, etc.). I prefer Noelia though.
-- absolutamento  3/13/2012
I named my youngest daughter Noelle. She was born in August. I think it is a very pretty name. I am a big fan of Sidney Sheldon (R.I.P.) and one of the characters in his book "The Other Side of Midnight" is named "Noelle".
