Even though I love the name Isabelle, I chose Olivia (love it too!). I think there are too many "el" sounds in Isabelle Noel. Sounds too rhymy. But, separately, they are both great names. And, Olivia Noel is adorable!

Thanks for your replies. Noel would still be pronounced as in the french word for Christmas (Noelle). The reason we want to spell it like Noel is because DH's first name is Leon and it is Noel spelled backwards. :)
I prefer Olivia also, I am an English teacher and the iambic pentameter of Isabelle Noel nags me just a tad, but DH loves the name Isabelle. We shall see what the voters think, lol.
