What do you think of this name Noah Andrew Bennett

I'm trying to decide for a name for our baby boy, I don't know whether to go with Andrew as first name and then Noah in the middle? Or Noah as first name? Bennett is the surname I love both names Noah & Andrew but I don't know which name first. Can you help me out or give me any ideas or swap names around? Thanks.

I can't bear ancient names from the bible, just awful unless you are fanatically religious or jewish.

I think it sounds quite a normal, ordinary name 🤷🏼‍♀️

Noah is better than Andrew
I prefer Noah Andrew Bennett

Not keen on Noah. Andrew is ok but a bit old fashioned.

@Awwlookatmybabyspider not everyone uses Andy anymore a lot use 'Drew'

daisypond · 11/05/2020 20:10

Drew is nice

HT96 · 11/05/2020 20:09

@bakingdemon why do people always say that? Children only get nicknames if you allow it to happen.

You can shorten my DD's name but no one has as I always introduce her by her name and tell teachers her name and she also introduces herself as that so no one has ever 'given' her a nickname 🤷🏻‍♀️

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/05/2020 20:08

If you're not keen on Andy then you're best of with Noah. You can only say "It's Andrew not Andy for so long, before you either get fed up or he decides he w ants to be known as Andy.

daisypond · 11/05/2020 20:06

Andrew is a million times better than Noah. Put that first.

That's the name of the cheerleader's dad in Heroes a few years back.

Great show esp season 1 if anyone is looking for things to watch.

Noah Bennet was a character in the show Heroes but I guess your baby’s contemporaries won’t know that! It’s a nice name.

Do you like Andy? Because that's what he'll end up being called

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/05/2020 19:36

Andrew sounds a lot more refreshing than Noah.

avroroad · 11/05/2020 19:20

Don't think of ordering the names so much as which name you actually want to use. That is the name that your son will be called every day.

HT96 · 11/05/2020 19:20

I think Andrew Bennet sounds better long term! No one uses middle names other than parents x

Vslightlystressy · 11/05/2020 19:16

Nab... not the worst initials but always scope for teasing...

leah11357 · 11/05/2020 19:14

I would go Noah Andrew x
