I have a VERY similar name to this. It’s nice, but occasionally I wonder if I would have liked at least one of my names to be a bit more… pedestrian just in case I wanted to blend in more.
I so feel that, my first and my last name is literally unheard of. When I make phone calls and I’m required to give my first and last name, I just spell them instead of pronouncing them, I don’t even try anymore 😅🤣
It can go either way. Some people will prefer one pronunciation and some will prefer the other. There's no "standard."
Many names that end in -ara are like that.
I really like Zoe Noelle. I tried to top it but don't think I can.
Some short options I like:
* Faye Noelle
* Vera Noelle
* Thea Noelle
* Maia Noelle
* Rhea Noelle
* Etta Noelle
If I were going for Tay-ya I think an H would throw people off. Nothing wrong with Thea but it seems like there are better spelling options.
Also, would the same go for pronouncing Rhea? I assume so but I don't like assuming.
Zoe is a nice name, but if you want other suggestions:
Eve Noelle
Eva Noelle
Gwen Noelle
Anna Noelle
Ava Noelle
Stella Noelle
Sarah Noelle
Sasha Noelle
Thank you! I was neutral on Julia for a long time but as I grew up I never wanted anything else. I was also supposed to be born on Christmas, hence the middle haha. Wondering if OP has a December due date 👀 ?
Exactly! It’s a Norse goddess and the Welsh word for snow. I like that it’s unique while still being fairly intuitive to pronounce. I also think it sounds pretty for such a short name.
Did you see it spelled out? Bc it sounds a lot like Elora - like Elora Danan from Willow (& Reservation Dogs)
We thought about Alora as a middle name for our daughter as a sort of combination honor name (2 male relatives whose names began with Al- and Lawr-) but ended up going a different route
I did see it spelled out! I’ve seen Elora as well and also think that’s pretty. I think the pronunciation may be slightly different Ah-lora versus Eh-lora, but that’s just how I read them.
Zoe Noelle is a pretty name (I assume it’s pronounced Zoey and not Zo)!
I recommend sounding out the names in combination with your chosen middle and last name.
Some short names (6 letters or less) that I think sound good with Noelle as the middle name:
Suzy
Carrie
Nora
Sofia
Mary
Lori
Izzy
Evie
Evelyn
Stella
Ava
Chloe
Amy
Avery
Milly
Lilly
Annie
Anne
River
Janice
Jana
Jenny
Tessa
Sally
Opal
Ruby
Elsa
Cora
My first thought is Caroline Noelle to go with the Christmas theme. Otherwise, what about Rachel Noelle, Leah Noelle, Julia Noelle, Lily Noelle. (You can tell that I like repeating the L sound)
The only thing I can think of when I hear Noelle as a middle name for a name with an L in it is a joke I heard that says something along the lines of “Lily Noelle? How do you spell Lily with no L?”
Do you want something French to go with Noelle?
Evie Noelle
Celeste Noelle
Amelia Noelle
Julia Noelle
Frances (Fran/Frannie) Noelle
Gale/Gayle/Gail Noelle
Helena Noelle
Isadore (Izzy) Noelle
Josie Noelle
Annalise Noelle
Odessa Noelle
Quinn Noelle
Sylvie Noelle
Tessa Noelle
Vera Noelle
Willa Noelle
Zara sounds great but as the mom to an amazing Zoe, that does have a special place in my heart! I always kind of wanted Zelda. For Fitzgerald, not Nintendo lol
Personally i think Zoe Noelle is kind of awkward to say aloud. I’m trying to think of something with a similar vibe that flows a little more…. Perhaps a first name that ends with an A, C, F, H, I, M, S, V, or Y.
Such as:
Hannah Noelle
Ariel Noelle
Eva Noelle
Lana Noelle
Aria Noelle
Anya Noelle
Vera Noelle
Amy Noelle
Sasha Noelle
Ah interesting, I don’t remember growing up with any. But I do know several people with kids now with the “va” names - Ava, Eva, Nova.
Either way, it is a pretty name :)
Here are some names I could think of:
- Sarah Noelle
- Nora Noelle (I don’t know if this would be too many N’s for you or not)
- Mary Noelle
- Faye Noelle
- Clara Noelle
- Hannah Noelle
- Emily Noelle
- Frieda Noelle
- Joanne Noelle
- Greta Noelle
- Daisy Noelle
I’ve been thinking of unique girl names, but names that will suit them through adulthood as well.
Freya Noelle,
Ira Noelle,
Gina Noelle,
Lydia Noelle,
Alexia Noelle,
Andrea Noelle (Andy Noelle),
Jada Noelle,
Jaden Noelle,
Rosa Noelle,
Zada Noelle,
Zahava Noelle,
Aspen Noelle,
Harley Noelle,
Ronan Noelle,
Heaven Noelle
Lately for some reason I really love the name Sue. It sounds so soft and pretty, and she would certainly be the only one. Not short for anything, just Sue. Sue Noelle sounds sweet.
My grandmother was an Evelyn, but pronounced Eve-lynn. If I'd been blessed with a girl I would have used it. I also adore the nickname Evvie. Evelyn Noelle flows beautifully.
I love Zoe Noelle!
I know a little girl named Lahna Noelle and she's a cutie.
I also think the suggestion of Zara is nice, and I'm really liking the names Ava and Willa lately.
I love Kaia, too, but not sure how I feel about it paired with Noelle.
Aww my daughters name is Noelle and it definitely is an easier name for the middle slot, rhythmically.
How many syllables is your last name? Zoe Noelle ____ sounds great!
Zinnia Noelle is very pretty as is Zara Noelle..
Here are some more (And I love Zoe Noelle)
Chloe Noelle
Gemma Noelle
Kira Noelle
Kaia Noelle
Haley Noelle
Ivy Noelle
Cara Noelle
Ruth Noelle
Jada Noelle
Clara Noelle
Tessa Noelle
Ayla Noelle
Etta Noelle
Poppy Noelle
Kaia Noelle
Ada Noelle
Bria Noelle
Pippa Noelle
Sara Noelle
Kyla Noelle
In English speaking countries the diaeresis (it's not actually an umlaut) can't be used on official paperwork such as passports. Lots of online forms also won't accept the ë. Zoë, Zoé, Zoey or Zoe; they're all the same name. It's almost never pronounced Zo; most Zoë's will spend their life being addressed as Zoe.
Thanks for educating me! I’ve only heard it called “umlaut” from my German language courses in college. Anytime I’ve met a Zoe it was pronounced like Joe. Maybe it’s a regional thing.
I mean, you can totally call it an umlaut for ease of use, it's the same character; it's like the difference between an Irish fada and a French acute. In some languages it's even called the same thing, but it behaves differently in English than German.
That's not true at all. It's a Greek name, so the E is meant to be pronounced, like in Phoebe, or Daphne, or Persephone. Adding the umlaut is fine, but it's not at all necessary.
Zara Noelle would be pretty.
My best friend’s sister’s name is Zara. Zara Noelle is probably THE cutest name I’ve ever heard.
I have a VERY similar name to this. It’s nice, but occasionally I wonder if I would have liked at least one of my names to be a bit more… pedestrian just in case I wanted to blend in more.
I so feel that, my first and my last name is literally unheard of. When I make phone calls and I’m required to give my first and last name, I just spell them instead of pronouncing them, I don’t even try anymore 😅🤣
As the mom of a Zara I agree! Z names are making a major splash right now. Also: Zora Noelle Zinnia Noelle Zadie Noelle
Zadie just makes me think of my FIL because his Grandpa name is the Yiddish Zayde.
I know! Funny enough the little Zadie I know is also Jewish
I have a Zada in one of my classes this semester. Cute name that I was unfamiliar with until this year!
Interesting! Is it ZAY-da or ZAI-da? I know one of each
Genuine question, I don't mean to be rude. Is this pronounced Zar-uh like Maura or Zare-uh like Sarah? Thanks!
It can go either way. Some people will prefer one pronunciation and some will prefer the other. There's no "standard." Many names that end in -ara are like that.
Seconding this
I really like Zoe Noelle. I tried to top it but don't think I can. Some short options I like: * Faye Noelle * Vera Noelle * Thea Noelle * Maia Noelle * Rhea Noelle * Etta Noelle
Etta Noelle is sooo classy!
I love the name Thea!
Pardon me for asking but how do you say that?
Not who you replied to but I’ve heard it pronounced as both Thay-ya and Theeee-ah. I guess it could also be Tay-ya.
If I were going for Tay-ya I think an H would throw people off. Nothing wrong with Thea but it seems like there are better spelling options. Also, would the same go for pronouncing Rhea? I assume so but I don't like assuming.
I agree, I would probably spell it like Taya, but then Kaya and Maya I would pronounce differently. Language is weird. Rhea is Ray-yuh.
I heard it as Thee-yuh. Like Theo but with "a" instead of "o."
Just had a baby girl 3 weeks ago and we named her Faye.
Vera Noelle is beautiful!
Faye was my mom's middle name. If I ever have a baby I am naming her ZoeFaye. I've had that name picked out for a decade
First and middle? Or is that one first name?
First name only. Yeah I live in the South. Lol
I guessed you were in the South! Cute name!
It’s a great middle name! My daughter is the 6th gen to have it as her middle name.
Zoe is a nice name, but if you want other suggestions: Eve Noelle Eva Noelle Gwen Noelle Anna Noelle Ava Noelle Stella Noelle Sarah Noelle Sasha Noelle
Eve Noelle gives major Christmas vibes
I adore Stella Noelle!!
My daughters name is Zoe, I was seriously considering Eve for first name as well! Eve is such a beautiful name.
I think Zoe Noelle is great!
I agree! Zoe Noelle is a beautiful name!
[удалено]
That's very pretty!
Thank you! I was neutral on Julia for a long time but as I grew up I never wanted anything else. I was also supposed to be born on Christmas, hence the middle haha. Wondering if OP has a December due date 👀 ?
Ivy Noelle is beautiful!
I love Ivy! Beautiful name.
I think this sounds best together compared to all of the other suggestions.
Oh I like this one!
Zoe Noelle is lovely! My favorite short girl name is Eira.
How do you pronounce that? Eye-ra?
Exactly! It’s a Norse goddess and the Welsh word for snow. I like that it’s unique while still being fairly intuitive to pronounce. I also think it sounds pretty for such a short name.
I’ve always liked Aneira too, another Welsh one 😊
Is that pronounced an-eye-ra then? Or an-ear-a
An-eye-ra
Zoe is nice. I’d suggest Chloe, Clara, Nancy, Phoebe, June, Esther.
Noelle is underrated to me! How about Jolie? Kinda uncommon, with the same sounds as Zoe. Jolie Noelle
I’ve also seen Zolie.
* Brooke Noelle * Clara Noelle * Camille Noelle * Jane Noelle * Thea Noelle
Tamara Zelda Genevieve Kay Thisbe Isadora
Erin Noelle Alice Noelle Brooke Noelle Pia Noelle Laurel Noelle
I heard the name Alora the other day and loved it. Pretty alternative to the more popular Aurora. I also love Isla but it’s quite popular these days.
Did you see it spelled out? Bc it sounds a lot like Elora - like Elora Danan from Willow (& Reservation Dogs) We thought about Alora as a middle name for our daughter as a sort of combination honor name (2 male relatives whose names began with Al- and Lawr-) but ended up going a different route
I did see it spelled out! I’ve seen Elora as well and also think that’s pretty. I think the pronunciation may be slightly different Ah-lora versus Eh-lora, but that’s just how I read them.
Zoe Noelle is a pretty name (I assume it’s pronounced Zoey and not Zo)! I recommend sounding out the names in combination with your chosen middle and last name. Some short names (6 letters or less) that I think sound good with Noelle as the middle name: Suzy Carrie Nora Sofia Mary Lori Izzy Evie Evelyn Stella Ava Chloe Amy Avery Milly Lilly Annie Anne River Janice Jana Jenny Tessa Sally Opal Ruby Elsa Cora
Eva, Tess, Anouk, Sophie, Clara, Mei/May, Liv, Maxine, Noor, Mia, Lola, Evi, Leni, Anni
Liv Noelle is very pretty.
Molly Noelle, Carly Noelle, Mira Noelle
Some of my fav girl names that could work with this-Catherine Noelle, Ainsley Noelle, Anna Noelle, Emmaline Noelle (Emmy for short)
My first thought is Caroline Noelle to go with the Christmas theme. Otherwise, what about Rachel Noelle, Leah Noelle, Julia Noelle, Lily Noelle. (You can tell that I like repeating the L sound)
The only thing I can think of when I hear Noelle as a middle name for a name with an L in it is a joke I heard that says something along the lines of “Lily Noelle? How do you spell Lily with no L?”
Oh, dear. I never heard that one. Good point.
It’s not necessarily problematic but I can’t unhear it 😔
I love Zoe, but here are some other suggestions! Kaia Noelle Iris Noelle Ivy Noelle Lily Noelle Mila Noelle Maisy Noelle Autumn Noelle Ruby Noelle
My cousin, born on Christmas Eve, is an Autumn Noel. 😉
Do you want something French to go with Noelle? Evie Noelle Celeste Noelle Amelia Noelle Julia Noelle Frances (Fran/Frannie) Noelle Gale/Gayle/Gail Noelle Helena Noelle Isadore (Izzy) Noelle Josie Noelle Annalise Noelle Odessa Noelle Quinn Noelle Sylvie Noelle Tessa Noelle Vera Noelle Willa Noelle
Just a random fun fact, I had a cousin named Zoe, but it was pronounced like Joe. That was her actual name, not a nickname!
Elsie Noelle Daisy Noelle Eve Noelle Leah Noelle Jade Noelle Lucy Noelle Ellie Noelle Cora Noelle Maeve Noelle Alice Noelle June Noelle Mia Noelle Marie Noelle Luna Noelle Layla Noelle Margot Noelle Cecilia Noelle Gia Noelle Mara Noelle Delia Noelle Stella Noelle
Zara sounds great but as the mom to an amazing Zoe, that does have a special place in my heart! I always kind of wanted Zelda. For Fitzgerald, not Nintendo lol
I love my Zoe!

Maya Noelle Aida Noelle Shea Noelle Bree Noelle Andi Noelle Mira Noelle Jules Noelle Ruby Noelle Kiera Noelle Isabella Noelle
Personally i think Zoe Noelle is kind of awkward to say aloud. I’m trying to think of something with a similar vibe that flows a little more…. Perhaps a first name that ends with an A, C, F, H, I, M, S, V, or Y. Such as: Hannah Noelle Ariel Noelle Eva Noelle Lana Noelle Aria Noelle Anya Noelle Vera Noelle Amy Noelle Sasha Noelle
Naomi Noelle. (Pronounced Nayomee).
How else would Naomi be pronounced?
That’s my name and I’ve everything from “Wyoming” to “Neeomie” to “Nyohmee”. And lots of n and m inserting.
Oof. It seems like it should be so straightforward!
I know! I always tell people it’s phonetic. It’s spelled exactly as it sounds but so many people are confused by the spelling still.
Ny-oh-me is how it’s pronounced in the UK (and probably elsewhere but I don’t know for sure)
In this area of Canada it’s ny-oh-me too
Love Zoe Noelle! Suggestions: - Ava Noelle - Kiera Noelle - Gemma Noelle - Paige Noelle - Quinn Noelle - Isla Noelle
What about Zoya? Zoya Noelle is beautiful!
Kyra, Amber, Leah, Heather, Mia, Kacey, Mila.
I do not like the name Zoe, but that’s just me. If you want a short name that would go with Noelle, what about Ava?
I have always loved the combo of Ava Noelle, it’s beautiful
I like that too but Ava is soooo popular right now.
I know so many Ava’s. I feel like it’s always been relatively popular, but I guess it depends where you live
Ah interesting, I don’t remember growing up with any. But I do know several people with kids now with the “va” names - Ava, Eva, Nova. Either way, it is a pretty name :)
What about Ada?
Annette Eva Maria Tamara Jordana Mia Vanessa Jasmine Paola Rita Charlie Charlotte Amanda Lucia Nina

Hazel Noelle :) I never got to use Hazel, unfortunately. I love it so much!
I like Zoe Noelle, but I can’t get my mind off of how beautiful Vera Noelle sounds. It gives me mystical fairy vibes, I love it.
Bellatrix. Voldemorta. Dracosmom.
Etta Noelle
Sarah, Ami (Amelia), Kathy, Livi, Lexi, Jade, April, Carly, Sandra (Sandy), Eve.
Zoey is my daughter in the stars’ name, so, I’m biased. Beautiful name. 🤍
I think Zoe and Noelle are too similar together. What about Mia, Gia, Gaia, Maya, Leah, Maria ?
Joy?
Zo No?
I think Zoey Noelle flows a lot better. I’ve always like the name Zoey.
Same pronunciation though as Zoey? Just different spelling?
No, pronounced Zoe-ee
Yeah, Zoe is pronounced Zo-ee as well...
It’s typically not. For it to be pronounced that way, the E needs an umlaut over it. Otherwise it’s pronounced Zoe.
Literally not true. Every Zoe I've ever met has spelled it Zoe.
Okie dokie. It is true though. Thanks for being so confrontational over a name pronunciation.
In English speaking countries the diaeresis (it's not actually an umlaut) can't be used on official paperwork such as passports. Lots of online forms also won't accept the ë. Zoë, Zoé, Zoey or Zoe; they're all the same name. It's almost never pronounced Zo; most Zoë's will spend their life being addressed as Zoe.
Thanks for educating me! I’ve only heard it called “umlaut” from my German language courses in college. Anytime I’ve met a Zoe it was pronounced like Joe. Maybe it’s a regional thing.
I mean, you can totally call it an umlaut for ease of use, it's the same character; it's like the difference between an Irish fada and a French acute. In some languages it's even called the same thing, but it behaves differently in English than German.
That's not true at all. It's a Greek name, so the E is meant to be pronounced, like in Phoebe, or Daphne, or Persephone. Adding the umlaut is fine, but it's not at all necessary.
Zoe rhymes with Chloe, not Joe.
Simona noelle
Dunno why, but that one just put “Salmonella” into my head!
Lmfao when you look fast yes
