"January" is named after the Roman god Janus. He had two faces, so he could look back at the old year and forward into the new one. "Noel" is the French word for Christmas; it derives from the Latin natalis dies (Domini) - birthday (of the Lord.) It's a popular name frorchildren born at Christmas.

I think you should be asking your parents, mate. I mean, presumably they had their reasons and it's what they intended that counts.
However, if you want to know what other people will think when they hear that name, they'll probably think instantly of midwinter and Christmas.
JANUARY is the first month of the year. It is named after the two-faced God Janus, who could look both ways at once. January is both looking back at autumn, and forward to spring. January is a time of reflection about the past and planning for the future. Janus would also rather be anywhere than where he is, right bang in middle of freezing winter.
NOEL is a masculine French name, the origin of which means the Christmas season or Christmas day itself. It's a classic name to give a boy born near to Christmas. Related names are Noelle and Natalie (for girls).
If Noel is your surname, then the origin is generally attributed to Normandy, France, where a large landed family took the surname in about 1066.
