Interesting, I didn't know Noel was used often for boys in the UK. It's rarer in the US (at least where I live, I can't recall knowing or seeing the name in use), but I don't think that it limits the use of the name in the English. As Thearomalady stated and as I came to consider after I posted this months ago, it's probably a wordplay, akin to the name change of Jacques and Simon in the French and English versions.

I still prefer Noel as a name in this case though, considering that Chris has been used as a name already and it's getting gradually more complicated with reused names like Chris, André, and Vincent. If it is Christmas wordplay, Noel works in the same fashion as Chris-tmas, but it's hard for me to judge until we see the character and, if he is akumatized, his supervillain name.
