I like Noelle. I prefer when it's used for someone born around Christmas time. It would seem a little odd to give it to a child who wasn't born around Christmas time or had some kind of connection to that time of the year, but there are a lot of people who have names with meanings that don't apply to them, so it's not that strange, really. A lot of people don't know what most people's names mean, but then again, most people know that Noel and Noelle relate to Christmas, though.

I would stick with Noelle for a girl. I have seen Noel as a feminine name before, but I automatically think of it as a male name when I see it.
