Is Noah really

[Alisvolatpropiis]

The 4 most popular boys name in the UK?!

I've never met one personally and have only heard of two in passing.

I know a few Noahs, think it has become pretty common over the past few years so doesn't surprise me it is 4th most popular.

I don't know any Noah's in the uk but I know some American and Aussie ones, think it caught on a bit later here. All the Noah's are probably just babies so it's not yet popular in schools and playgrounds so not heard around that much yet!

Lots of Noah's round here- it's a bit IslingtonChic, I think!

I know quite a few!

It's exceptionally popular here in W. Yorks (along with Reuben for some unknown reason).

And even in my native N.I. You really know a name is passé when it's filtered down to semi-rural Northern Ireland .

I know a few, but the oldest I know is about 5. Its one of those names that became popular very quickly.

I don't know any apart from the one with the whale. It's definitely a trend. My DD is in year 10 and her year group is full of kids called Ellie, Joe, Tom, Ben, Sam etc, hardly anyone with more 'exotic' names!

Dont i know it, we chose it for ds 1 because it wasnt popular, then booof.....loads of them.

Ds was nearly Noah.

I don't know of any at all. All the baby boys I know are called Danny or Finley. Mostly Finn/Finley.

I know of a few.

Number 4 I have a Noah it wasn't at all popular when we named him, I fact it was considered fairly unusual & people commented how different it was. This was just over 2 years ago.
I'm hearing on here it's getting more popular by the hour which I hate, but iv only come across one other and I know lots of toddlers.
Think Megan fox had a Noah which made it popular quite quickly, and I'm betting the recent film will keep it going for a while.
Still think it's a lovely name, I love saying my so s a Noah and it really suits him

I know a handful under 8.

I love the name Noah, but I know of one 3 year old and three babies with the name. It does seem to be becoming more popular by the day.

I know about 7 Noah's (friends of DS1 or the children of my friends) aged 1-8. That's going from the north of Scotland down to London. Not sure who or what started it (Noah Wyle from ER maybe?), but I consider it 'popular' in the way Liam was 15 or so years ago; going from none to absolutely loads in no time.

I know 4 Noah's, all between 3yo- 5yo. In Essex.

I know 3 of them under 8.

I know one Noah.

He's 6.

I wanted to call my DS Noah..Ex didn't like it

The only Noah I know (well, I don't actually know him of course) is Boris Becker's eldest son. I remember really loving the name when he announced it.

Yup - tripping over Noahs, Oscars, Reubens and Jakes.

I know of one Noah who is about 3 or 4, and Chris Evans's son in called Noah.

It's a lovely name, but it will be like the Jason of our times - a classic name that really dates.

Blame Chris Evans. It's the celeb effect.

I know one. Detest the name.
