for me it would just be one syllable, though i think that is not because of my accent and just because of the great british baking show host :sweat_smile:

I think this is what you were going for with Nowl, but for me it’s like NOLE (rhyming with mole!!)

For me i love and use the pronunciation No-elle for both genders but i worry people default to nole which I don’t like.

[name_m]Knoll[/name_m]

No-elle, but probably nowl if I knew he was [name_f]British[/name_f] since I’m quite sure that’s the commonly accepted pronunciation over there.

NO-əl.

[name_m]Nole[/name_m] (to rhyme with hole, bowl etc)

[name_m]Nole[/name_m] (rhyming with coal, bowl, sole etc).
It’s a pretty common name in [name_u]Ireland[/name_u] and the UK, especially for men who were born around the 1960s.

Instinctively “nowl” but I do know a male [name_u]Noel[/name_u] who pronounces it “no-elle” too!
