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.
