Poor Chris Evans, it's too late for him.

Noah is a great name.

Blackduck · 12/02/2009 16:35

Ahh, that could be aproblem - DS is never going to be blond!

tootiredtothink · 12/02/2009 16:32

Love it, love it, love it.

I always think they are going to be blond hunky surfer types when older.

CrackerNut · 12/02/2009 16:25

I think it is a lovely name.

MrsMattie · 12/02/2009 16:21

Done to death. Never liked it before it was common, either.

LilyBolero · 12/02/2009 16:20

I like it

troutpout · 12/02/2009 16:18

loved it...was going to use it when pg with dd
so glad i had a girl though as it soooooo does not go with our surname and sounds mightily weird with it. I was too hormonal and in love with the name to tell at the time.

I like Noah but I don't think that Noah Evans sounds right, the two names just run into each other imo.

Another mum with a baby Noah, so biased also, love it.

Although think I made a bit of a booboo with his middle name, 'jack'.

Get lots of jokes do you know a jack Hammond (our surname)

The lady who had the octuplets also called one of her babies Noah.

Love Noah, DC3 would probably have been Noah if she'd not been a girl!

Great to see a Sleb choosing a normal name for a change instead of some poncey name!

MaryAnnSweetheart · 12/02/2009 11:00

great name

sockmonkey · 12/02/2009 10:56

I love it. But then again, I am biased.

Poppycake · 12/02/2009 10:50

I think it's a bit grim, to be honest. I wouldn't blame the child, but I'd wonder about the parents. Same goes for all those other biblical monstrosities - Seth, Obadiah, Ezekiel etc. The girls' names are a bit better, but I certainly avoided them for our little ones.

But I don't have strong feelings on the matter

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 12/02/2009 10:39

I like it.

Sesi · 12/02/2009 10:38

Most people like it so far! I think it's horrible.

If I ever met a grown up Noah I would be expecting a real beardie weirdie.

differentCupID · 12/02/2009 10:32

I like it- makes a refreshing change to all these really ridiculous names being foisted upon celebrities newborn children.

LouMacca · 12/02/2009 10:21

Lovely name. Would love a snuggle with Noah, he is absolutely gorgeous.

SlartyBartFast · 12/02/2009 10:09

and have you seen the pics?
he is so gorgeous

SlartyBartFast · 12/02/2009 10:03

but perhaps we are biased because it is chris evans??

Rindercella · 12/02/2009 10:03

I like it!

SlartyBartFast · 12/02/2009 10:03

i like it.

Wow - how rare to get such a positive concensus on an MN baby name thread. Has this ever happened for a name before (let alone a sleb name?) Gold star for Chris Evans and his missus.
