I gather Noah is rather popular, but just how popular?
has it been in the top 10 for a long time? Do you personally know many?

I don’t know any but this is my first baby and I don’t know actually know that many children!

Thanks.

If you like it, use it OP!

It was my sisters top boy name choice 10 years ago but she ended up having my niece

I know several and it's one of those names I hear screeched across the park, NO-AAAAH, along with Rapha-YELL!
Shortens to No.

I know loads. It's such a dreadful, dreary nothingy name. Like a puff of air.

I don't know of any - have a 2 year old who goes to different toddler classes and nursery!

Clementine22 · 24/08/2024 17:58

I only know 1.

I love the name Noah, I wouldn’t worry about whether it’s popular or if other people have it.

LoneHydrangea · 24/08/2024 17:57

Lovely, cool name. But I’d be wary of using it as it’s so very popular.

Having said that, we know only one and he’s 25.

I live in Ireland and it’s very popular here. Personally I think names ending with an ah sound very feminine so would never use it for a boy.

I do know a lot, and other Old Testament names like Elijah, Ezra, Jude and so on.

theduchessofspork · 24/08/2024 17:48

I know 5 I think, one mid 20s one mid teens and the other 3 between 5 and 10.

Have a look on darkgreener for how popular it is right now

@HashB , it's overused.
