Our daughter is nameless - should we just go for Noah?

We didn't know her sex, but if she had been a boy, she would have been Noah.

We like Madeleine/Maddie, but disagree on pronunciation. We had almost decided on Ivy, but we don't like the way it looks Sad

Any ideas? She's really cute Grin

Noah is odd for a girl.

I love Nola.

How about Leona?

OK, if you hope to have more DC, then best to have something that goes with Noah (if you have a DS) or Noa (if your last DC is another DD in a string of girls).

How about other OT names, such as Esther, Ruth, Naomi, Jemima, Rachel?

Leah and Noah are lovely together! Yes, hang on to Noah for a boy if that she your preference. Leah is lovely too.

Noa was the name of a lovely perfume many years ago... go for it! I think it's lovely for a little girl.
And congrats Smile

We're not sure about the other N names... Thank you though Smile

Leah is nice, but if we had a boy, could we have Leah and Noah?

Dd has a Noah in her class and it is spelt as that.

KlingybunFistelvase · 19/11/2016 13:33

I'd go for Noa or maybe something similar sounding. How about Nora, Nuala (noola) or Naomi?

Pancakeflipper · 19/11/2016 13:32

Noa ?

I know a young girl called that and she really owns that name! She's totally lovely.

Nuala?

We did look at Noa, but does it look incomplete?

Mia,Leah, Cora have similar sounds to Noah. Hmm, if you like Madeleine, maybe Adeline, Coralie, something like that?

I wouldn't go for Noah because that is a boys name.

Which other girls names do you like?

liquidrevolution · 19/11/2016 13:29

Nola?

Many congrats Grin

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 19/11/2016 13:29

Norah/Nora?

GlacindaTheTroll · 19/11/2016 13:29

isn't it usually spelled Noa for a girl?

Pyrrha · 19/11/2016 13:28

Norah? Or I think Noa is a girls name.
