I met one one time! A baby. I asked her mom what the inspiration was and she said it was just supposed to be an elaboration of Noelle

I find it rather amusing: I like Noel as a unisex name, I'm fine with Noelle if the French pronunciation is used but where I live it always sounds like noWELL, which is awful. And I find Ella, and also Emma, dreadfully boring. So while 'No Ella' would suit me very well as a regulation, like 'No Entry', Noella wouldn't at all.

I really like both Noel and Noelle, but Noella always seemed too frilly to me.

That said, Noeli is awesome.

I don't like Noel, Noelle to or Noella

I like Noelle but not Noella. Noella tried to be fancy. It Noelle is my fake-Catholic confirmation name (as I was then, now an atheist), I loved it at 13, haha, and no one checked that there is no Saint Noelle, lol.
