An alternative to Noah needed..!

[lollydollydrop]

As its just too popular, and sorry girlies but its about to surge with the masses too- in 2014 theres a blockbuster out called 'Noah'. Many huge names, Russell Crowe stars as Noah (ugh), Sir Anthony Hopkins is in it and I think its going to be huge.

Can anyone suggest names with a similar 'vibe' to Noah we may like??


Many thanks x

What do you think of Rupert?

[lollydollydrop]

Thanks wombat, feel for you as it was also unusual when I first started liking it! I wondered about Jacob.. I know its high in the top ten but do you know lots of Jacobs too?

Wilbur?

We gave our son a name that was quite unusual, then moved overseas and his name is the third most popular name for his gender and age group here.

Have fun with your baby, whatever you call him.

[RockinHippy]

Amos, Rodin, Saul, Auberon, Jett, Flint, Dali, Aaron, Joao, Ned, Jed,

[UriGeller]

Joe? Oh, god just typing that name make me broody for another baby boy

DS has a friend called Noah - he's the only Noah in a reasonably large primary school (Midlands) so not outrageously popular here. But - I'm not one to talk - 2 of my children have top three ten names.

Another thing to bear in mind is that the film will be in people's consciousness for a few months, your son will have his lovely name for years and years to come - long after the DVD of the film is in the bargain bin of the supermarket.

[lollydollydrop]

Lol! Good point! I hope he wouldn't be bargain bin name!

[TheWoollybacksWife]

Oh Lordy! I didn't mean that it is a bargain bin name. I meant that any perceived popularity will wane - probably before your child starts school. Noah is a wonderful name.

[lollydollydrop]

Thanks very much, I understand what you mean ;) I wonder if anyone regretted not choosing their original name...

[RockinHippy]

I've a family member who regrets her name choices, Noah included, but she's been very unlucky in that all of the DCs chosen names went from not popular, to top 3 within a few years of her naming her DCs & they meet a lot with the same names

[PavlovsCats]

Ezra?
Amos?
Ethan?
Liam?
Elan?
Solomon?
Asa?
Jeriah?
Milo?

[eatyourveg]

Another vote for Ezra otherwise Rufus or Ned

[eatyourveg]

or Jethro

[jazzyjenbo]

My son is Noah and it has been my 'boy name' for as ling as I remember.
Other boy names I love are
Rowen
Jude
Jonah
Arthur

'Girlies'? Brrr

[Misspilly88]

Ewan? Noah and Ewan always go together in my (mad) head!

[PotatoPolly]

OP are you my long lost twin?! I'm having this exact dilemma... plus you posted your original post on my birthday!!
We've been considering Ethan, Zachary, Jacob and potentially Isaac as alternatives
