So after a coworker's baby was born, he was showing pictures of the mother and child around to everyone in the break room. We asked the name, of course, he smiled and said 'Heather Noel.'
On our way back to our cubicles, my other coworker asked, "Is that a Massachusetts thing?"
"Is WHAT a Massachusetts thing?"
"Well, where I come from, there's never an L in Heather..."

Noel Coward was at a party where he encountered Jean Harlow. To be funny, she kept mispronouncing his name, NoEL, like the Christmas greeting.
She persisted in this until he said, "Jean, the E in Noel is as silent as the T in Harlow."
