What do you think of Noa?

What do you think of the girl's name Noa? It's a Hebrew name, very popular in Israel, where it's also distinctive from the boy's name Noah (which is pronounced No-ach). But do you think she'll have a problem growing up with a name like that in the UK?

Also, what do think of the name Alma? (another Hebrew name, which has Latin roots/ sound to it as well!)

Alma

I like noa. It's different without being weird. I think alma is really old fashioned.

Be aware that she may grow up around a sea of male Noah's.

Noah is becoming fairly popular in the Uk I think it may be hard for a Noa growing up here to be honest. What about Nea?

Noa sounds to be like it has a letter missing and should be Nora. However it is easy to spell and pronounce, as is Alma. I prefer Alma to Noa.

Love it!

Noa is nice

Although I prefer nova

I love love love love LOVE Noa for a girl! Its gorgeous.

Don't like Alma.

I like them both, prefer Noa though very pretty and exotic. Dd2 is Robyn so same sound as the male but different spelling.
