Sorry the Noel is pronounced like the Christmas Noel. Thank you for your input!! Love your Normans by the way!! haha

I prefer your spelling. I think on a girl it would be obviously pronounced like the Christmas song.

Love Hannah but Noel is NMS.

Yes, our thoughts on the spelling of her middle name would be as found in the Christmas song "First Noel", which is pronounced like "Noelle". I do see your sides though, I guess I just never thought Noel would be pronounced any differently that "Noelle". A pronunciation like "Knoll" or "Nole" never crossed my mind. Thanks for the input!! :-)

Hannah is cute! Noel/le is nms and I'm not sure I love the flow from -nah to No.

Hannah is fine but nms. I would use the Noelle spelling as well, Ive only known men named Noel (knoll).

Hannah Noelle is lovely!

I agree with everyone, Noelle. I think Hannah Noelle is beautiful.

That is my SIL's name. Today is her b-day. It's a sign. Do it.

Thanks for all the responses!! We love the name and think it's perfect for our little girl. It's a go!

If you like it, spell it Noelle. Personally, I'm not crazy about the redondant Hannah Noelle sound. It doesn't have the best flow.

Hannah Noelle is nice.

Are you the one on A15 whose cousin inadvertently stole your baby name? I remember the Hannah Noel from that post. Still think it's lovely.

FWIW, I know a girl named Noel (spelled this way), and she has had some problems with people assuming it is "Nole", but that was a pretty big rarity. I don't think it makes a huge difference in the middle spot either way.

I really like Hannah Noelle, very sweet

 @PinkDahLia44haha yes that is me :-)

I really like both names, but find that it ends up being a lot of n sounds close together. Cute names though

Love the name, but I'll be completely honest, spelling it Noel vs. Noelle would make me think you're not very educated/haven't studied a foreign language. Kind of like when people place the accent mark over the second e in a name like Renee. That's just not how it works. As others have said, for the pronunciation you want, especially on a girl, please spell it Noelle.

Noel (the Christmas kind) is a french masculine word. To make a french word feminine you would add "le." Noel is a boy's name regardless of pronounciation. Noelle is a girl's name.

I'm sorry if you felt we disrespected the French language @Joy2611‌ that was not our intention.

Definitely spell it Noelle.  Hannah Noelle is nice!

I love Hannah. I used to love Noelle, but I now have a bad association with it.
