Girl name poll

starkbaby22

We don't know the sex of our baby yet, and we actually agree on names for the most part. I'm afraid one of our girl names is going to wind up in the top 10 next year- just from reading posts here! Noel is likely the middle name, and "Noelle" is NMS. We also may give two middle names and the other would be Olive to honor my late grandma. We already have a Bella and a Penelope, and I'm open for suggestions Thanks!

I won't spell it "Noelle" no matter how many people tell me "Noel" is masculine. Lol

I don't think anyone sings The First Noel as "the first nole". Not worried about pronunciation- just sayin

Thanks for your suggestions!

I think Mila Noelle is pretty.

I like Mila. We live in the Carolinas so it just doesn't quite have the appeal to me.

Carolina Noelle (I like the Caro-lee-na pronunciation).

I like Mila. Not only do I pronounce Noel differently than Noelle, but Noel is masculine regardless of pronunciation.

I like Caroline, but not Carolina so much. Mila is okay, but also NMS.

I have always thought Noel and Noelle were pronounced the same way. Just out of pure curiosity, how does everyone pronounce them?

I like Mila better but voted for Carolina because Mila and Bella are a little matchy for me.

Well, aren't you acting arrogant?

Noël is a masculine french word (le Noël) and properly spelled with two dots over the E.

To make Noël feminine in french, you add the -le.

Noel = knoll

Noël = no-el (masculine)

Noelle = no-elle

Noëlle = no-elle (feminine)

Please don't say anything else about how people won't say The First Noël wrong. You sound sorely uneducated and lacking in respect for the french

I clearly stated at the beginning of my post that I wouldn't spell it "Noelle". I understand everyone's statements about it being a masculine name. I wasn't being arrogant. I like it because it's biblical. I know a person named Noelle, and just don't care for her or the spelling. I simply wouldn't spell it that way. I don't see why it's any different than people naming their girls Kyle or Ryan. I truly don't worry about anyone pronouncing it incorrectly or thinking it's too boy like.

I don't think it was necessary to call me uneducated and I wasn't disrespecting anyone. Truly.
