how many baby Noahs do you know?!?

I keep hearing on mumsnet that Noah is very popular, and also seen it's near the top on the popular baby name lists. However I don't know or have heard of any being called when out! My son is nearly 3 so we go to toddler groups but not baby ones so not really sure what all the new baby's in my area are being called.
Don't like to use a popular name but it's really growing on me (I'm due in novemeber with another boy).
☺☺☺☺

There are 3 Noahs in my son's Reception class

mintich · 17/09/2017 22:51

I know one

Gaggleofgirls · 17/09/2017 22:42

About 6 under 4. Very popular here that's just within people I know. It's a nice name though, although that would probably put me off. Cheshire/Welsh border.

I don't know any here, and have 3 kids at school.
If I was to have a boy I would pick the name Noah, I absolutely love it. Milo & Noah sound fantastic together.

It's very true. Popular names are so for a reason. And if it is any help, all my
Noah's are lovely kids (and teachers normally have long lists of names they can never use!)

SometimesItRains · 16/09/2017 10:24

Does it matter if it is common? I have a commonly used name for women my age (still reasonably popular with babies too) and at one point there were 5 with my name in the same class - can't say it ever bothered me and I still love my name. If you like the name then go for it. Noah is a lovely name (but then I'm biased because I have one!).

Mrsknackered · 16/09/2017 10:07

I love it (I'm biased)

The youngest one I know is 4 and the eldest is in his 70's (I know 4 in total)

Legobitch · 16/09/2017 09:11

I'm a teacher in Wales and there are at least 2 in almost every class I teach (secondary). It seems incredibly popular here

TallulahBetty · 15/09/2017 22:12

About 6 under 6. BUT that's because it's a lovely name!

elQuintoConyo · 15/09/2017 22:10

None. But one female Noa aged 32.

QuantamBaby · 15/09/2017 22:02

Quite a few (I'm in the NW) but that's probably because it's a lovely name!

whichwaynow82 · 15/09/2017 20:14

8

DelphiniumBlue · 15/09/2017 20:11

I've taught 8 different classes this week, and each one has had a Noah ( not all spelt the same though!)

smellybeanpole · 15/09/2017 20:08

Two

dillytilly · 15/09/2017 20:06

so many of my friends have baby Noah's, I think its a lovely name but very popular atm!

Jooni · 15/09/2017 19:44

I know a few and hear it quite a bit out and about but it's a lovely name!

How about Asa?

Susierocks · 15/09/2017 19:11

I live in the south east and the last 3 boys I know who have been born have been Noah. Also know a couple under 10. Seems insanely popular here. Lovely though.

Needalifeoverhaul · 15/09/2017 18:18

Just the one...two months old. Olivers everywhere though!

jenniuol · 15/09/2017 18:05

toomanydicksonthedancefloor1 · 15/09/2017 17:58

I like the name for a boy or girl.

17caterpillars1mouse · 15/09/2017 17:57
