I have a female Noa.
I like Noah

Chase is dire
Theo is overused and boring
Mason is nice
Teddy is pathetic. What grown man wants to be known as teddy?
Ezra is nice.

Caleb is the only one of them I like at all.

No to Theo. It's this seasons "Jack", "Alfie" or "Aiden"...so so many that my kids have to say their full name to identify when talking about which one in their class!

Caleb or Ezra

Teddy is ok but overused
Chase I don’t like at all and is very American
Caleb is my least favourite of all of the names. I just really don’t like it.
Theo I like but again is a little overused. As somebody else suggested I would possibly have Theodore and then call him Teddy or Theo
Mason I don’t like
Ezra is pretty cool but will maybe date quite quIcily?
Noah is nice enough but again overused

Chase sounds very American, which is fine if that what you are, but would sound odd for a British person. Mason is a bit ‘the opposite of posh’.

The rest are fine.

Chase is very American sounding.. My 4 year old and his friend are forever chanting “Chase is on the Case” in American accents (damn you paw patrol)

The others are lovely. Congrats on your little boy

Caleb or Ezra. Please don't call him Chase, he'll have a childhood of "chase using the case"

Teddy - fine as a nickname for Edward/Edmund/Theodore. Terrible and cruel by itself - he has to go to secondary school and have a career, you know.
Chase - too American.
Caleb - like it
Theo - like it
Mason - too American
Ezra - meh
Noah - like it

Caleb is my favourite - it's not too common.

Elijah is better than Ezra imo.
