Jack or Noah

[robynrey23]

Can't decide, which do you prefer?

They are SO popular. Are there no others you like?

Both great names. Jack nudges it for me.

Jack. Probably marginally less common than Noah amongst my Dc's peers and their siblings.

I like both but Jack is more timeless. Noah seems to have become suddenly popular so I assume it will wane again in the next few years. Yes they're both popular but that may not bother you! DD has a top 20 name and we know of only one other child around her age with the same name. DS has a less commonly used (although not unusual) name, top 500 probably - we love both names, they suit our children perfectly!

Noah

Jack, or even better Jonathan or John with nn Jack.

Jack

Jack

Jack.

Noah is a very 'now' name and imo will date badly. There are hundreds of them around here.

Lots of Jacks too of course but it's a more classic name.

Both so boring!

What about Jackson?

Jack

They're both very very popular at the moment when this child is at school he'll probably have 2 friends with his name. Personally I prefer Noah.

Millions of them. V popular. If that's not an issue, prefer Jack.
Actually prefer James

Jack.

Its irrelevant his popular itbis or not.

Name your child the name you like.

Jack.

Can't stand Noah.

Jack

Jack for me too.

Am I allowed a teeny giggle at the thought that Jack is more timeless than Noah?

Well I know a Jack who is 93, one who is 40, one who is 39 and 2 who are 6. I know 5 boys named Noah and they are all 2 or 3.

Noah is a girl's name. It is a girl's name. Which makes me wonder if the story of the ark is more radical that we thought.

Jack

I thought Noa was a girl's name, and Noah was a boy's name?

I love Jack BUT you do realise that it it very, very common?

Did is 21, she knows 6 Jacks from school and met another 4 at uni. We have to have nicknames for them all to distinguish them. We have House-Jack,
Jack-Jack, Esther's-Jack, Cousin-Jack etc etc.

So based on that I'd go for Noah.

DD is 21, that should say.
