HelpRe: Noelle
in reply to a message by Joiya
Do people mispronounce her name a lot? Noel is my middle name, and people seem to mispronounce it about 80% of the time when they read it.

Do they say something that sounds like nole?
It's her middle (technically part of a double-barreled first, but she uses it as a middle). Since it's paired with Holly as Holly-Noel... people instinctively say no-elle
I know a guy whose name is Noel and he goes by nole. I don't like it.
He and his wife are very uppity about it too. Apparently (to them) that is the way the name is "supposed" to be said, but people are just too uncultured to get it.
