N names

Hi,

Our surname starts with an 'n', and I like the sound of having the first and last names starting with the same letter. I like names that are easy to spell, but I don't like super common names.

For girls we currently like:
Nina
Nancy (but I'm worried it's too old)

For a boy I like Noah but DH is not keen on it.

Any other N ideas? What do you think of Nina and Nancy?

I've got a little Nancy. Adore it. Doesn't get shortened easily. She likes it too and we get loads of compliments. It's never mispronounced. Have only ever met one other little Nancy, mine is primary age now.

Thanks! I am still struggling with boys names, I don't like Noel, Nigel etc. And Noah is super popular plus DH hates it!

I like nina, Nancy, Natasha and Nell but loathe neveah.

I'm not mad keen on Noah. I like Nick but not Nicholas, so Nico or Nikolai works for me. Nolan for the revenge fans.

Not keen on Nina but really like Nancy!
How about Naomi, Nicole, Natasha, Nia, Nadia, Nicola.

I like Noah, but it's extremely popular in this area. How about Nicolas, Nathan, Neil, Niall.
