I've an Oliver so Oliver for me. But depends on last name, siblings etc too I suppose. Do you like Oli or No as doubtless the name will be shortened.

No siblings :) last name is King. Also, Ollie is fine and I don't mind people shortening it, but I'll be trying my best not to!

Oliver.

Oliver, but Noah is also really nice.

I prefer Oliver anyway but Noah King sounds a little like 'wanking' if you say it fast!

I don't see how it sounds like wanking, but okay... Noah is probs my fav

The glottal stop is prominent where I live so it would be 'no-wah-king' and 'wanking' would sound like 'wa'kin' if you follow me :) You probably have nicer accents!

Know a king? Prefer Oliver!

Noah, but then I'm biased as I have one. We don't shorten it.

Oliver

Noah King....I'd say no because I immediately thought "I know a King".
