I've known 2 Noelles in my life so far, 1 went by it in full and didn't like nicknames and one (the one closer to my own age) occasionally opted for the nickname Elle when we were children, not sure if she still does though. For Zoelle, Zoey seems the most logical & inevitable choice but I like it. Between the two I'm not sure which I like more.. Noelle is more tamed down for sure. I always imagine a book-ish, shy, introverted young woman with mouse-y brown hair and glasses in an overall dress, reading in a coffee shop or book store. Zoelle is more vibrant & impression making of a name. Someone in a field that is both highly creative but also highly difficult & competitive. I think it depends on the impression a person wanted that metaphorical kid to give to people tbh. Both nice names.

I still prefer Zoanne myself but I'm weird. Zoelle seems more independent but Zoanne feels more tamed & almost cutesy.
