How do you pronounce Noel's name?
My friend says that its pronounced "nole", while I say its pronounced "no-el". Which is it?

It's a popular hispanic name, and they tend to pronounce it no-el, but your friend is right. Noel Gallagher's name is pronounced like Cole or Joel.
Funny how Noel, Liam, and Gem all have names you wouldn't know how to pronounce just from reading them.

He's right, it's Nole. I'd imagine Noel would hate to be addressed as No-el!

LOL.
I remember my dad reading the Masterplan booklet and thinking it was lie-am, but it's lee-am (a variation of William, his birth name.)
And I thought Gem was pronounced "gem" as in pearl but it's g as in goat, because he took it from the footballer Archie Gemmil.

Let me guess... English is not your all's first language?

Nope, I only spoke Vulcan right up until high school, but I do know some words can be properly pronounced in different ways even if they have the same spelling.
Although considering that Noel's name is French, Liam's name is Irish, and Gem's name is essentially something he made up, I can't tell what proper English has to do with it.

Well at least I've been saying Liam's name right haha. I've been saying Gem's wrong too. And here I thought I was a big Oasis fan.
