"Noel" is often the spelling used for a boy, where "Noelle" is a girl's spelling of the same name. I personally know a man named Noel, so I think there must be a wordplay kind of deal. I think Tansy might have thought of it as more of a girl's name because of the "el(le)" sound on the end, which is not common in boy names in English.

Technically speaking, Noel is a unisex name, just like Adrian/Adrien, Gabriel/Gabrielle, Kim, and Chris.
