Noa for a boy?

[lucieloos]

Noa is a boys name in Wales (pronounced Noah) but a quick google search has revealed that it's commonly used as a girls name. What do you think of it for a boy? We prefer this spelling as we are Welsh.

Unless you're actually in Wales, I'm guessing you'll always have to spell it for people. As will your son.

We don't mind having to spell it. It's not as though it's a complex name and there are plenty of other names that we like that would involve some degree of spelling as well.

It's lovely.

Go for it then!

Noa is a girl's name.

Noah is the boy's name.

If you're Welsh and that's the Welsh spelling I'd go for it! A lot of people won't even be aware of Noa as a girls' name.

I'm Welsh. Noa is definitely a girls name.

But if it's not in fact a legitimate Welsh name, well then I'd advise sticking with Noah!

Noa was a perfume wasn't it?
I would go for the traditional Noah spelling.

It is a perfume by Cacharel.

I too would go for Noah for a boy.

I love the name, but would definitely spell it Noah for a boy/Noa for a girl.

Noa for a boy will constantly be misspelled.

Do you actually live in Wales?

Is Noa well known as boy's name where you are?

To me, Noa is a girl's name. Unless you can answer "yes" to the above (at least the 2nd one) I would avoid.

Noa is a girl's name.

Noah is better for a bit imo.

Noa seems a bit feminine, I much prefer the Noah spelling. Plus, though you might not mind spelling Noa's name all the time, he might!
Although, if it is important to you to spell it 'Noa' then go for it, it's still a nice name.

Noa is a girl's name. Go for Noah, make your life and your baby's life simpler!
