Noeline
Saw this name on an ad for an upcoming concert. The opening act is an "Americana artist" (though she is Canadian) called Noeline Hofmann.What do you think of Noeline?I thought it was quite pretty, though I think it might often get smushed into "No-Lean" which is unfortunate. I like the way it looks, though. I do like a nice -leen/line name.

It’s cute if I interpret it as a retro feminization of Noel rather than an elaboration of Noelle, which I’ve never cared for.
I like it! I instinctively pronounce it with three syllables.
I can dig it, but I prefer the name Noelia!
It's frilly and princessy, but I prefer it spelt as Noëline.
I share your concern about No-Lean! And I'm happy with just plain Noel for girls as well as boys: I really dislike no-WELL, so Noelle is out.
I don't like it
I think it's nice
