This was really helpful to show my husband who can't get Christmas off the brain with this name, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760727 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 18:19:44 +0000 hellobeeboston 2760727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't - and i love that name!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760666 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 14:14:23 +0000 FaithFertility 2760666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, love this name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760625 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 13:02:23 +0000 MrsSCB 2760625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone named Noel, and I have never once wondered if she was born on or close to Christmas...I actually don't know when her birthday is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760501 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 22:50:10 +0000 JCCovi 2760501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I associate it so strongly with Christmas that I was shocked to see the poll go the other way! Personally, I would give a little bit of side eye about naming a November baby Noelle, but don't let my opinion stop you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760433 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 16:01:35 +0000 starchild 2760433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it. I know the meaning, but I don't automatically think of it. It's so pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760408 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 15:06:47 +0000 MaryM 2760408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I can attest to the fact that having really popular songs with your name in them is incredibly annoying when you're in elementary school. I mean, kids can find other ways to tease, but I found it annoying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760406 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 15:02:43 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2760406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughters middle name is Noelle. She was born no where near Christmas but we love Christmas so the association was good. I think its beautiful for a November baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760387 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:23:06 +0000 nana87 2760387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. I wouldn't use the name myself because we're Jewish (also wouldn't use a name like Christopher or Kristine for similar reasons) BUT I wouldn't bat an eye at someone else using it, no matter when the baby was born. It's really pretty! I know an adult noelle who does have a late December bday but I didn't know that until I just looked it up on fb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760375 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:56:52 +0000 helloperidot 2760375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We briefly considered Noelle for our little girl.coming in November but ruled it out because it basically rhymes with our last name. I love the name, though, and wouldn't tie it directly to a holiday baby (unless I knew that baby was born close to Christmas, then I might ask about the holiday). My best friend in high school had Noel as her middle name, but she was born 4 days after Christmas and her parents did that on purpose. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760364 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:32:23 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2760364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's name is Noelle with a January birthday. I've only been asked maybe 2-3 times in her whole 6.5 years of life whether it was because she was born on Christmas. Most people don't even think twice about it, and my daughter loves that there is a song with her name in it.</p> <p>I would never assume a girl named April was born in April, or a girl named Autumn born in fall. And if I did, I think I'd quickly associate the name with the little girl rather than the month/season. I have a friend who named her daughter Aaliyah (with a diff spelling). In the beginning, I did briefly think of the singer, but it quickly became a name I associated more with that little girl than anything else. </p> <p>Anyway, all that to say, I obviously love the name Noelle, and I wouldn't think twice about using that name for a non-Christmas baby. Use it if you love it! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760357 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:20:25 +0000 peachykeen 2760357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I answered yes because I do associate it with Christmas (but I was a Dec 24 baby whose parents almost named me Noelle) BUT I still think it's a gorgeous name and I would absolutely use it for a November baby! I would also use April, May, or June in any month :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760355 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 13:12:18 +0000 yoursilverlining 2760355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I do associate Noelle with Christmas but I wouldn't side eye a November baby with that name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760338 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 12:48:52 +0000 PawPrints 2760338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it makes me think of Christmas. And "The First Noel" starts going though my head. Still a pretty name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760324 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 12:21:07 +0000 Truth Bombs 2760324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The name Noelle (and the name Natalie) literally means "Born on Christmas", so I think it's only natural for people to associate it with the holiday. That being said, I do think it's a very pretty name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760322 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 12:14:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2760322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do but love it!! Its a beautiful name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760300 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 11:30:31 +0000 snowjewelz 2760300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love that name! I have a friend's daughter named Noelle; I've never once associated it with Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760283 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 11:04:16 +0000 littlejoy 2760283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a big Sublime fan (at least I was in college). The lead singer's last name was Nowell, so when I see "Noelle" (and not Noel), I think of Sublime, not Christmas. </p> <p>This is my niece's name, and I think it's so lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760274 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 10:48:45 +0000 MrsADS 2760274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so! I think it's really pretty. I think unless your baby was born on Christmas Day or something and named Noelle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-name-noelle#post-2760272 Thu, 20 Jul 2017 10:46:49 +0000 Katebydesign 2760272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you associate the name Noelle with Christmas? We would like to name our November baby Noelle but afraid people are going to automatically think of the holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-change-my-profile-name#post-2466318 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:32:56 +0000 Raindrop 2466318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leggie: I think you can ask for a user name change in the help forum</p> <p><a href="http://help.hellobee.com/" rel="nofollow">http://help.hellobee.com/</a></p> <p>The bees are in the Philippines right now and might take some time to do the change but it will get done. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-change-my-profile-name#post-2465700 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 09:57:58 +0000 Leggie 2465700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help, I just joined, and want to change my name so the locals don't recognise me lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-3-year-old-write-their-name/page/3#post-2354172 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:35:44 +0000 tlynne 2354172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I was responding to the sentence where you said that you worried if he was behind, and was trying to provide reassurance that it's totally normal either way. I never suggested pushing him...in fact, I wrote quite the opposite :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-3-year-old-write-their-name/page/3#post-2354078 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:03:37 +0000 BandDmommy 2354078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlynne: he's not interested and he's learning it at school, so no need to push him. My question was merely wondering if other kids could write their name. There appears to be wide range of normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-3-year-old-write-their-name/page/3#post-2354065 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 13:00:46 +0000 KayKay 2354065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banddmommy: K can, but not because of anything i did. i think she learned at school. fwiw, i've always thought that daycare/schools are WAY better at working on milestones, and that some of them are totally random. like playing pat-a-cake or rolling a ball. what if you just don't do those things very often (ever?). then clearly your kid will be "late" while someone who does it everyday from birth would probably do it "early". as long as kids are having lots of opportunities to learn &amp; practice lots of different skillsets (large motor, small motor, problem solving), i think they'll be fine, and if they are "late" to do something, will probably pick it up really quick whenever they are taught. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-3-year-old-write-their-name/page/3#post-2354044 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:46:56 +0000 tlynne 2354044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just because some kids CAN write their names at 3 doesn't mean that all kids SHOULD be able to write their names (even really smart kids). For a three year old, the vast majority of their time is best spent playing - especially active, pretend play - and interacting with other people. If you really want to work on it, try some Montessori-inspired activities that strengthen fine motor skills rather than letter writing practice. It's more a more fun and less stressful way of getting LO ready for writing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-3-year-old-write-their-name/page/3#post-2353969 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 12:12:15 +0000 BandDmommy 2353969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is Brennan's signature...

I'm not concerned. They did letter and number tracing in school, and he did really well, but he can't write them on his own. </p>
