Can we name our son Noah? :(

[BlackSnow0210]

Noah is my favourite name (has been for years) and DH's!

Our surname is a profession (I suppose?) so it sounds like "know a..." :(

The thing is, both names are rarely said together!

Should we go for the name we love?

I don't see why not, children will always tease one another, about something.

Depends, if it's Plumber then no.
It's hard to say without knowing the last name ?

Baker?

I think it's fine. If you're keen on it, go for it.

Noah Taylor is fine.

It's Sailor...

Yes, Taylor is fine. I don't even think Noah Carpenter is too bad.

Oh I don't like Noah Sailor I'm afraid... too nautical!

Hmmm, I have just said various professions after the name noah so am going to say no. It does sound like "know a...." when you say it like that (can see so far I'm only one who thinks this though, so feel free to ignore me! )

Noah Sailor

Noah Sailor?

No I don't think that's a good idea, too many connotations of sea, arks etc imo

Cross posts, I didn't think of that profession! I'm afraid i still think it sounds wrong thoigh

Damn :(

Sorry OP but I think it's one nautical reference too far!

Any of these any good instead?

It's a lovely name; but not with that surname. There's only one thing for it: you'll have to divorce him!

What about ethan? Nathan?

Another don't think so I'm afraid. How about Ezra or Luca if you like names ending in 'a'?

Some lovely suggestions, so I thank you! But our second favourite name is Elliot...

Elliot Sailor thoughts?

I'm so sad about Noah :(

Sorry op, I wouldn't either.
Fwiw we couldn't use my ultimate favourite name as ds initials would have been BO. I much prefer the name we actually used now and am a bit meh about my old favourite.

Elliot is lovely.

absolutely fine.

Elliot's lovely too.

oh Noah the Sailor, honestly I still think it would be fine

I like Elliot Sailor

Elliot is LOVELY.
How about in the same vein - Elijah, Seth, Adam, Issac, Joel, Reuben?
