Are you in the UK? Noah was the eleventh most popular name for boys born in 2011. So not weird at all!

Yes in London, I like it but everybody we've said it to thinks its weird!

There are quite a few! No more weird than any other Biblical name (and a lot less of a mouthful than some you could choose!). I first came across it as the name of the actor who played Dr. Carter in ER, Noah Wylie, which gave a positive impression!

I know three or four. It's not a name I particularly like, but it's a perfectly good choice.

It's OK, a bit moany sounding though. It's a bit "we were trying to think of an unusual Biblical name" but by now it has become more fashionable (or faddy depending which way you see it!)

Love it.Definitely not weird.

Not weird at all - I know of 2 Noah's.
Think it's a nice name!

Ihatepeas · 29/12/2011 18:01

Lovely. I'm in central London I know 4 little Noah's under 3.. So not wierd at all.

I have an eight year old Noah! I didn't know any when I named him but now there seem to be loads about - and olde than him too so I obviously didn't get out much! I have one year 7 class (am teacher) with TWO Noahs - but don't teach any other Noahs so that must be a statistical blip LOL

Extremely popular, and very nice imo.

Not weird as in unusual because it isn't but I can't get past the No! Arrghh! element.
