ArchivesMN spelling issue-Noel
I am having a dilemma over how to spell a middle name. I've named my DD Saoirse Noelle, but prefer the spelling of Noel for balance with the last name as it seems to "look" better. For correct french usage, it appears her name should be spelled Noelle, but then someone argued, Jean is used for American women, when in reality, it should be Jeanne for feminine.
If Noel is a striclty masculine name, I'll stick with the "lle" ending- also I do not want people to pronounce her middle name "No'ul" and since her first name is ambiguous/difficult enough, I thought I'd get some thoughts. TIA.
