I like it. I've never liked Olivia which is one of the most popular girls names out there at the moment though

ProseccoandPizza · 21/06/2017 08:12

Used to love it when pregnant with DS however then DP vetoed it. After hearing Noahhhh and Nicoooo recently I decidedly do not like it.

SuperBeagle · 21/06/2017 08:09

No.

Too Biblical for my liking. Too old man with a beard and an ark with animals.

Jooni · 21/06/2017 07:06

Yes I really like it

kittytom · 21/06/2017 00:28

I am not personally keen. But if you like it that is all that matters?

AvaCrowder2 · 21/06/2017 00:16

I'm not really keen on the name, its popularity wouldn't make me like it more, but I know some really lovely ones so I do like it more than I would have.

5OBalesofHay · 21/06/2017 00:14

Quite Scarlet it sounds whiney.

MrsCharlieD · 21/06/2017 00:14

Yes I like it but wouldn't use it as it's too popular. I would however use Noa for a girl.

ScarletSienna · 21/06/2017 00:11

No.

It sounds like a whiny no.

"Sam, please can you help me wash up?"

"Nooo-ah, why should I?"

Scrumple · 21/06/2017 00:09

I love it. And i don't know a single Noah around here. A similar name i also love is Ezra.

I'd probably not pick it if it was a common name in my area though. I wouldn't want my child to be the fifth Noah in the classroom.

Ojoj1974 · 21/06/2017 00:07

No not really

CrownOfPrawns · 21/06/2017 00:04

I think Noah is a hideous name and cannot understand why so many people like it.

tellybear · 20/06/2017 23:54

Yes. I still like it. I'm not religious but like a lot of biblical names - Eve, Rachel, Sarah, Noah, Joseph, Adam. I guess because they are quite classic.

DramaAlpaca · 20/06/2017 23:54

No, I just don't like the name, nothing to do with it being popular.

It did annoy me a bit when the names we chose for DS1 & DS3 started to take off in popularity a couple of years after they were born. At least I can tell myself I was ahead of the trend!

DS2's name is a classic, so I knew that was going to be quite popular but I loved it so much I didn't mind.

Lemondrop99 · 20/06/2017 23:51

I've never really understood the appeal of this name or how ur got so popular. Not to my taste and I think there are many nicer biblical names around

Chapterandverse · 20/06/2017 23:50

I only know one Noah, he's 13, so it's not popular at all where I live.

I like the name.

BandeauSally · 20/06/2017 23:49

Yes I think it's a beautiful name but the popularity of it means I wouldn't use it.

wobblywonderwoman · 20/06/2017 23:49

No. It isn't a name I like at all. I like stronger names- though I know it is biblical- just a bit too airy sounding.

chinlop · 20/06/2017 23:48

It was what I wanted to call my son when I was younger (about 15 years ago).

I didn't because by the time I had my son it was shooting up the charts Blush
