Noel is (supposed to be) always pronounced as NOLE. I would keep this spelling, since it’s only a middle name and probably won’t be said very often.

Noel is pronounced like No L. Not Nole.

Noel is a boys name and it’s pronounced No L

Um, no it’s not. The word is, but not the name. Noel is a masculine name pronounced NOLE. Look it up. I think they know what they’re talking about if they’re giving the name to their son.

Noel, the masculine name, is pronounced NO-uhl. Noelle, the feminine name is pronounced No-L. If you’re looking for Nole, I guess I’d spell it that way.

Different websites will say different things. Let’s just stop arguing about the pronunciation and help the poster out

LOL @ Poster 11 it is all about the pronunciation.

Every show I’ve ever seen with a male named Noel it has been said as Nole.

If you want it pronounced Nole, then spell it that way. I have seen Noel (pronounced No-El) as both a male and female name, but I have never heard Noel pronounced one-syllable. Or you could go with Knoll for your desired pronunciation, but I think Nole is nicer.

It’s actually not about the pronunciation, it’s about the spelling...

Noel is pronounced Nole. I don’t believe in misspelling names to accommodate people who don’t know how traditional names are pronounced.
You will have to correct people either way.

Nole for sure.

I know of girls with the middle name Noel, No-el.

Noel is not pronounced No-el its Nol rhymes with Joel or Hole. Its not remotely feminine or unisex.

Last poster you seem to be confusing Noelle with Noel, completely different names.
