Pls pls not Simon. I immediately think simple Simon met a pieman or Simon says.

Although Noah is a fab name - I would be averse to using it as it's just too popular.

Simon is awful! Too 70s to me, like Gary or Steve or Paul. Not ready for a revival.

SugarBlossom92 · 11/03/2017 19:27

Noah

Simeon!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 11/03/2017 19:26

Noah

reuset · 11/03/2017 19:25

Simon for me. Noah is very fashionable at the moment, nothing wrong with it though

Wow, there are some rude posters on this thread. I'm not a fan of the name Noah myself but I don't feel the need to be so horrible about it.

Ooh, it's been quite restrained and polite you know. You obviously haven't read some of the other name threads Grin

Simon! It's what I'm calling my baby if it's a boy (team yellow).... second thoughts, call your baby Noah! I want to keep the name Simon to myself!! Hee hee! WinkGrin

Simon. There are 4 Noahs at ds's tiny nursery!

dementedma · 11/03/2017 18:43

I wanted the name Simon for Ds but dh didnt like it. It's my favourite boy's name.

Kittykatmacbill · 11/03/2017 18:33

Simon, there are billion babynoahs.

CPtart · 11/03/2017 18:33

Simon. In fact anything but Noah. It sounds like a strained protest! Detest it.

harderandharder2breathe · 11/03/2017 18:10

Definitely Noah

But then I've known three simons and not especially liked any of then

InsiderOut · 11/03/2017 17:54

Wow, there are some rude posters on this thread. I'm not a fan of the name Noah myself but I don't feel the need to be so horrible about it. Confused You do realize that ther chances are that someone will read this thread who has a child called Noah.

Simon Smile

Noah to me has become like Matilda- a bit of a silly, super trendy, cutsey name that has become dull through overuse. Simon is lovely.

Gummibears · 11/03/2017 08:42

Simon! Good solid name that's not overused.

Noah is overused and weak sounding imo. It also sounds like a groany No to my ears.

Joeybee · 11/03/2017 01:37

Much prefer Noah, but Simon is nice too, and not as popular.

Lalunya85 · 10/03/2017 23:39

Noah, definitely.

DramaAlpaca · 10/03/2017 23:36

Simon, lovely name.

SuperBeagle · 10/03/2017 22:46

Simon.

I've loved that name forever. Used to be obsessed with 7th Heaven and Simon is a great character in that.

dementedma · 10/03/2017 22:10

I love the name Simon.

ScarletSienna · 10/03/2017 22:09

I really like Simon. I don't find names boring generally (James, Josh, Tom etc are all popular yet I still like them) but I feel Noah has been used a lot and it's lost appeal.

10Betty10 · 10/03/2017 18:03

Chances are he would be the only Simon in class, whereas there are usually a lot of Noah's at the moment.

Plus Simon feels stronger sounding than Noah imo.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/03/2017 16:37

Simon, nice name.
Lots of little Noah's around.

terrylene · 10/03/2017 15:49

Simon = my first dog. He was lovely Smile
