Too many Noahs?

Love the name Noah for a boy, have a girl called Olivia and both names mean peace or rest - something every home with a newborn yearns for!
Would love to call DS on the way Noah but feel like all of a sudden there are a lot about?
I know there are lots of Olivias but I loved it so much that it didn't put me off. Should I think same way for Noah?
Thinking Noah Patrick?
Opinions gratefully accepted!

Noah is a great name - but yes, very 'now'.

Tis too Biblical for me!!

And there are a lot around too..........think it will soon be less popular though.

Am not keen tho it is ok for a surname imvho

I'm afraid I cannot forget someone here saying that Noah sounded like someone farting down a drainpipe :o

I have a Noah. He is Noah Patrick, coincidentally!

When he was born 13.5 years ago, it was an unusual name which is one of the reasons we chose it.

I was gutted when it became hugely popular but at least he doesn't have any in his age range and he is still the only Noah at his school.

I still really love the name though and he loves it too.
