Help[Opinions] Oy. Noel is masculine, Noelle is feminine.
in reply to a message by Mar
If it has the two dots over it, Noel is pronounced no-El.
It honestly ticks me off when people pronounced Noel as no-el and use it for a girl. Noel is strictly masculine.

I agree with your second comment. I see Noel as strictly male too. Still if I encountered a Noel here in the Netherlands, I'd assume it was no-EL. If I met a Noel in an English speaking country I'd assume it was NOL.
+edit: no-EL pronunciation doesn't make it feminine for me, if that's what you thought I meant.
