Help me love my babies name - PND

I agree with the previous poster that it is a strong and classic name. My DS has a lovely friend called Noah and he is loyal, polite, kind and funny. My DS has a top ten most popular name - 8 boys all called the same name in his year group - they loved it.

I love love Noah and it would have been ds name but my friend had a ds just before me and called him Noah. I still love it though. You have made a great choice and it is a wonderful name.

It’s a lovely strong independent yet loving boy name. I’m a teacher and very very experienced (30 years plus) and work in a private school now but stage for about 25 years, Noah gives me great vibes. Not met many but the ones I have met are lovely!!

It’s a lovely, classic name that will see him through cute baby stage right through to an old man!

in my kids school of 210 kids there is no Noah, so despite it being ‘popular’ I don’t know any.

Lovely name, it was high on our list for our son.

You might find you dont encounter that many. My son has a name that was top 10 but until last year there was no one with the same name in his whole primary school (yr6!)

My dd has a name that was less than top 50 when I picked it and there were bloody 4 of them in her primary school!!

Noah is a lovely name - classic and gentle sounding.
When you picked the name, what was it you loved about it? Try and focus on that.

I was one of three girls in my year with my name, and there’s usually at least one other everywhere I’ve worked. It really doesn’t bother me. I like my name and still love my mum’s choice.

I don't know a single one. But even if there are a few you know it doesn't matter if you like the name.

Noah is a gorgeous name and works well for every stage of life. I only know 1 Noah, who’s in his 20’s now and I work in a school!.

Noah's gone down the rankings a bit, Muhammad is now the most frequently chosen name (assuming you're in England or Wales). That said, Noah is very popular.

If it being popular is upsetting you, choose something else.

IME that's the only negative thing about the name though, it's a lovely sound and suits a person through all ages of life.

Can you narrow it down to whether it's just popularity that's putting you off?

Edited to add I just spotted you said don't mention the popularity aspect. Sorry. I do think it's a beautiful name and would suit a wide range of types of boy/man. It's an easy one to carry through life.

Gosh I love Noah. Good choice.

Noah is a gorgeous name and even though as you say it’s a top 10 name, I certainly haven’t met any Noah’s really so it sounds unique to me! Also I am sure you know that the top names these days are nowhere near as ubiquitous as the top names 30 years ago, where there was much less diversity in names.

Noah is a strong name that is classic and sounds like it belongs to a kind and clever person, it works for all ages and is a great name for a boy and for a man. And it is easy for everyone to spell!

I think it’s a gorgeous name. Cute for a baby and a little boy, strong for a man.

It’s a beautiful name. I don’t think any name will really feel special enough when you’re comparing it to your much longed for baby. I felt similarly about my daughter’s name and now I can’t picture her as anything else. She’s made the name so much more special and it fits her perfectly. I am sure the same will happen for you. I hope you feel much better soon ❤️

It’s a lovely name.

It’s a lovely name. If you like it you like it.

there are 2 Olivia’s in my daughters class (that was the number 1 girls name the year she was born). There are also 2 Stanleys, 2 ettys, 2 elodies and 2 robins (both girls spelt like that), none of which are particularly common names. And no Noahs! So even if you pick a rare name, there could be another.

there is so much more variety in names these days that even the number 1 name won’t be that common. It won’t be like Linda or Susan in the 50s, Debbie in the 70s or Claire in the 80s.

Really lovely name, strong but still somewhat classic.
