Noah: nice or chavy name?

We are trying to decide on a name for our baby boy. We both like and agree on Noah. I know it is really common. Is it a bit chavy now?

Very overused but not chavvy.

I think its lovely, do now a few though.

Katarzyna79 · 01/04/2016 13:05

hows Noah chavvy? I wouldn't know what a chavvy name Is this class thing with names is really pathetic.

squoosh · 01/04/2016 12:00

So 'chavy' doesn't mean like Hugo Chávez?

Hersetta427 · 01/04/2016 11:45

Not chavvy but completely overused now - much like Oscar. There are 2 on both in my son's reception class. I have come to detest both names.

BushDiggle · 31/03/2016 16:15

I would not say it's Chavy at all

Marcipex · 30/03/2016 10:00

Nice.

It just doesn't do anything for me, imagine saying no to little Noah Grin posdibly eveytime little Noah hears no he'll think it's he's being called. I think that it is over used now, perhaps that's what you mean by chavvy ?

MamaLazarou · 29/03/2016 19:22

It's just that bit too Bible-y for me.

mrsschu · 29/03/2016 19:10

It's nice enough and I wouldn't consider it chavvy. It's popular which often gets a bad reception on here but hey, it's popular because lots of people like it!

Noah, as well as building the ark , disgraced himself when old by getting drunk and appearing naked in front of his children. I didn't know that when I chose Noah so thought i would share. I still like it though.

CPtart · 29/03/2016 17:02

It's not chavvy but it's my single most hated boys name. I just don't get the appeal at all. It sounds like a strained protest!

RockUnit · 29/03/2016 16:48

It has become rather overused recently,

shez29 · 29/03/2016 13:37

Love this name. If my daughter had been a boy we would of had Noah as a name x

BettyBi0 · 29/03/2016 06:53

I don't think it's chavvy at all. Very common though. Is that the same thing? I mean there are loads of them rather than a class thing.

Bluesand1 · 28/03/2016 13:03

I've heard it called chavvy on here along with Jacob Ethan Finn but it's a lovely name in my opinion and I only know of very nice Noahs

GreenLounger · 28/03/2016 12:50

I love the name Noah, it's on my list x

nectarini1983 · 27/03/2016 18:29

Lovely name just far too popular for me now!

albertcampionscat · 27/03/2016 16:24

Yes. Noah and Finn are nice names and they fit the single syllable fashion for boy's names. They'll date, probably, but that's not a terrible thing. It's not like all the middle aged men called Mark or David or Peter go around hating their names.

JoJoS123 · 27/03/2016 16:23

Well, Finley is his middle name.

I think it's lovely, Noah is too. Honestly, if they're popular and you're confused why, you're probably the odd one Wink

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 27/03/2016 16:22

Noah and Finn are nice names, which is why they popular.

JoJoS123 · 27/03/2016 16:19

Finn is my son's middle name.

Floggingmolly · 27/03/2016 16:19

It's totally overused now. Just like Finn God knows why
