further to the earlier thread, how do you pronounce Noah.

I have only ever heard it as No-ah but my Mum insists on saying Nor, which I think might be an Arabic pronunciation (or she may just be bonkers )

Arabic one is nooh, not really nor that sounds like noor?
i think its just said NOE-UH

Just No-ah, surely?

Dnephew is No-ah, have never heard it pronounce another way tbh.
