Can we name our son Noah? :(

Noah is my favourite name (has been for years) and DH's!

Our surname is a profession (I suppose?) so it sounds like "know a..." :(

The thing is, both names are rarely said together!

Should we go for the name we love?

Cross posts, I didn't think of that profession! I'm afraid i still think it sounds wrong thoigh Sad

Noah Sailor?

No I don't think that's a good idea, too many connotations of sea, arks etc imo

Hmmm, I have just said various professions after the name noah so am going to say no. It does sound like "know a...." when you say it like that (can see so far I'm only one who thinks this though, so feel free to ignore me! )

Oh I don't like Noah Sailor I'm afraid... too nautical! Sad

Yes, Taylor is fine. I don't even think Noah Carpenter is too bad.

Baker?

I think it's fine. If you're keen on it, go for it.

Depends, if it's Plumber then no.
It's hard to say without knowing the last name ?

I don't see why not, children will always tease one another, about something.
