I've posted a couple of times during pregnancy about names. We are now 5 days from my due date and no closer to choosing. DP decided we should each make a shortlist of 3 and they're not anything alike.

Mine:
Alice or Alissa
Lois
Georgia

His:
Marnie
Casey
Piper

One of the problems with Marnie is that we're in the north and he refers to his sister for example 'our'(insert name) so Marnie could come to sound like Armani. Another problem is I just don't like it lol.

A compromise would be Alexa as we both like it moderately but amazon have poached it.

We got talking about boys names this morning and both agreed we like Noah then I stupidly asked if a girl called Noa would be ridiculous. He now loves that.

Sorry this is so long but does anyone have any thoughts about compromise names based on our likes. Or any thoughts on Noa?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Not Alexa!!!
The other day a woman said 'alexa' to her daughter and I genuinely thought amazon must have bought out a new gadget like an Alexa watch or something
When I realised it was a little girl I couldn't help but giggle! So for me that's a no no
It will pass but it could be annoying for the next few years and that would piss me off too much!
Love the name Alice! Beautiful name!
And oh god I could not deal with the 'ourmarnie' situation!

What about Nora? It's similar to noa?
Good luck! X

I like Noa, Casey and Georgia. Three quite different names but all nice!

Connection* not congestion!

I like Alexa, the Amazon thing will pass and I doubt anyone would make that congestion anyway.

The general consensus on MN for Noa for a girl is that it should be spelt Noa (as you have) but that as if is very popular for boys many will assume, upon seeing the name, that your child is male.

I'm not keen on Noa/h, sorry, or Georgia, Piper and Marnie.
I love Alyssa and like Lois too.
I believe Kacey, is the feminine spelling, but I like the name.

I love Noa. And also Noah for a boy. When used for a girl you may have to spell it for some people as they may assume it has the h at the end. That wouldn't put me off though.

I also love Alice.
Don't panic about not having sorted definite choice right now. We didn't have name for DS until after he was born and it seemed easier then once we had met him. Plus a lot of men are more amenable to suggestions once they've seen you give birth!
