I met a guy the other day named Joel (Jo-el). I've never even thought about pronouncing it that way until then which is weird because one of my sister's middle names is Noel (No-el). I've seen several posts on here with people saying they like Noel for a boy pronounced Nole. I guess it makes sense that Joel and Noel would be pronounced the same, but I pronounce Joel like Jole and Noel like No-el. How would you pronounce each of them and do you prefer Noel on a boy or a girl? Hopefully that made sense.
