I imagine Lyle as tall, thin, pale, intellectual, and smarmy. It makes me think of pale aqua and argyle. Not necessarily bad things but very specific.

Somehow, I haven't met a Kyle since elementary school; it's not terrible imo, but I'm not sure I'd think it ages well. It almost seems like a dated cross of Kai and Cole to me.

Lyle is preppier than Kyle, less trendy. I like Kai more than either of them. And I'd prefer Lysander or Carlisle to Lyle.

Look up Lyle Lovett.

Is Lyle Lovett physically that different from the image Noel has, though?

I don't think he looks "intellectual and smarmy", but he always looked tall, thin, and pale, to me.

No, which is why it's hilarious to me.

Oh, I thought you were saying Lyle Lovett went against that type. My bad. :P

I guess another way to put it would be "nerdy charming" (that, or trying to be). I don't know if that fits Lyle Lovett or not, though.

Kinda.

He really does have a nerdy charm to him. Your description is really close to him, which is pretty cool.
