Harry or Noah?

Our little boy is still nameless. We just can't decide between Harry or Noah! Which is your favourite and why?

Noah is very common. There are 3 in my sons class and 4 across his year (1). Lots in the toddler groups too.

grufallosfriend · 21/04/2017 16:42

They are both incredibly popular (especially in the 5-10 age) and likely to date soon. Is there no other name you love?

BillyButtfuck · 21/04/2017 10:43

One of my twins is a Noah, it really suits him Bear

user1492757084 · 21/04/2017 10:30

Harry is my fave. Does he have red hair?

Mumoftheark · 20/04/2017 23:08

I have a Noah, he's 5 now and I still absolutely love it.
Really like Harry as well. Call him both for a day or two and see what feels more natural

Hotpinkangel19 · 20/04/2017 21:43

Harry. Don't like Elijah at all and not keen on Noah

uncoolnn · 20/04/2017 19:02

Elijah or Noah for me Smile

Mrsknackered · 20/04/2017 18:52

Noah (its popular because it's nice Hmm )

ScarletSienna · 20/04/2017 14:55

Love Elijah
Like Harry
Not fussed about Noah. Sounds whiney like someone saying 'No (uh)' with stroppy attitude.

MitzyLeFrouf · 20/04/2017 14:54

I will be forever baffled at the popularity of Harry. It makes me think of a smelly man in a flasher mac.

kirstxx · 20/04/2017 14:53

Grin fail

kirstxx · 20/04/2017 14:52

Errol True! :') If he was actually funny I may not mind [grins]

Backhometothenorth · 19/04/2017 19:11

There are 6 Harry's in my daughters reception year!

Rockaby · 19/04/2017 17:26
  1. Elijah (love it)!
  2. Noah (nice but v popular)
  3. Harry (not keen on it)
ErrolTheDragon · 19/04/2017 15:45

a big bald head!
Perfect for many babies, then.Grin

kirstxx · 19/04/2017 15:37

User1492602256 I dislike my surname and look forward to changing it when/if we get married! :')I'm 'one of those' I'm afraid.
If I want Harry that badly if I have a boy I'm sure I'll get over the Harry Hill thing. At the moment all I can envision is a big bald head!

Heatherbell1978 · 19/04/2017 13:23

Harry by a mile. It was DC2's name if she'd been a boy!

YouBloodyWhat · 19/04/2017 13:09

Noah, definitely.

Harry is so boring.

TheNaze73 · 19/04/2017 13:03

Harry is a timeless name. Lots of new Noah's about & it just feels like a weak name for some unknown reason

happydays2017 · 19/04/2017 13:00

Harry ! (Noah is the Kevin of the future as it is SO now )

Dontrocktheboat · 19/04/2017 12:58

Elijah is nicer than either Noah or Harry!

liadaintheirishpoetess · 19/04/2017 12:58

Noah

user1492602256 · 19/04/2017 12:57

kirstxx - use your surname?

ErrolTheDragon · 19/04/2017 12:54

Noah seems a bit wet to me.

Grinnot sure if that was meant to be a joke, but yeah...

Much prefer Harry.

NappingRabbit · 19/04/2017 12:49

Harry!
