Hi ladies, for the past 4 years or so the name Noah has been up there as my top name choice, but now I am increasingly concerned that it's either ridiculously popular or even a bit 'common'.:( I am 28 and waiting a year ttc, know no children so am out of touch with it really. ..

How many do you know in your area of the country, how old are they and what are your thoughts on the name? ? Xxxx thankyou

I'm not keen - because of my dd2.

When she was 2 we were in a soft play and a mother next to us was shouting "Nooooooah! Nooooooooooooooah!"

Dd2 turned to me and said "That boy gotta big boat"

when I said no he probably didn't, she then said

"well he gotta lotta aminals then" and went off to lay

Me and friend were in stitches! Moans mum, not so much.

And that is why (apart from prem menopause and vasectomy) we wont be having any other kids!

Lol!!! Oh dear!! I guess if he got nits at some point thats a likely nickname! I don't mind that so much, think kids grow out of that :)

I quite like Noah. My daughter has a noah in her class. Unfortunately, he is nicknamed nitty noah...
