Maybe this has been done to death on here, but I've just seen it described on another thread as 'chavvy' Hmm

I adore the name and would probably choose it for a boy if I am lucky enough to have another. I know that it has become quite popular, but funnily enough I don't know any.

Thoughts?

It's a lovely name. I don't know any round here!

It's not chavvy (bloody hate that term!). It's a name that's gone from relative obscurity to massive popularity in the past five years or so, and from what I can tell a Noah is as likely to be middle class as he is to be working class.

I love the name but it's way too popular for me

The first thing I think when I hear this name is FFS not another one.Hmm

The names been around for thousands of years and People have only just discovered it.

I think it'll date very rapidly due its sudden surge in popularity.

All that said, though. I do actually think it's a nice name.

I'd say popular rather than common. Good name!

It's not chavvy but it is the no 1 boy's name at the moment. If that doesn't bother you, go ahead.

Don't like it at all.

Super common, but I'll never get past the biblical association of an old bearded man with an ark.
