An alternative to Noah needed..!

As its just too popular, and sorry girlies but its about to surge with the masses too- in 2014 theres a blockbuster out called 'Noah'. Many huge names, Russell Crowe stars as Noah (ugh), Sir Anthony Hopkins is in it and I think its going to be huge.

Can anyone suggest names with a similar 'vibe' to Noah we may like??

Many thanks x

Do love Noah though.

Oren
Torin

Neither are Biblical but fit the simple sound style Noah has.

I have a Noah and he's the only one i know. Go for it!

If you like Noah go with it :) but if you're that bothered then don't! (Stating the obvious I know but just wanted to point out option of keeping Noah as I've always loved that name!!) as I like that name maybe you'll like my other name that I like of Arthur??

Yep, I like Seth for the geek chic appeal, as does OH. But our surname begins with an S and so it can get a bit 'lispy'. Shame, as I had also liked Sebastian. (Though my mum said 'Bastard?!') Hmm

Thank you, its not so much the religious aspect of Noah that appeals. It became my favourite 5 years ago as I considered it traditional whilst being fairly unheard of (at the time!!!). I love that it is both strong and soft sounding, OH likes that it can't be shortened and I do like the meaning also

If Hebrew / biblical names are your thing I love the ones that end in - el for a boy.

Samuel, Nathaniel, Gabriel, Michael.
