If Noah wasn't popular, would you like it?

[AlliesMyName]

Just that

It was what I wanted to call my son when I was younger (about 15 years ago).

I didn't because by the time I had my son it was shooting up the charts

No. It isn't a name I like at all. I like stronger names- though I know it is biblical- just a bit too airy sounding.

Yes I think it's a beautiful name but the popularity of it means I wouldn't use it.

I only know one Noah, he's 13, so it's not popular at all where I live.

I like the name.

I've never really understood the appeal of this name or how ur got so popular. Not to my taste and I think there are many nicer biblical names around

No, I just don't like the name, nothing to do with it being popular.

It did annoy me a bit when the names we chose for DS1 & DS3 started to take off in popularity a couple of years after they were born. At least I can tell myself I was ahead of the trend!

DS2's name is a classic, so I knew that was going to be quite popular but I loved it so much I didn't mind.

Yes. I still like it. I'm not religious but like a lot of biblical names - Eve, Rachel, Sarah, Noah, Joseph, Adam. I guess because they are quite classic.

I think Noah is a hideous name and cannot understand why so many people like it.

No not really

I love it. And i don't know a single Noah around here. A similar name i also love is Ezra.

I'd probably not pick it if it was a common name in my area though. I wouldn't want my child to be the fifth Noah in the classroom.

No.

It sounds like a whiny no.

"Sam, please can you help me wash up?"

"Nooo-ah, why should I?"

Yes I like it but wouldn't use it as it's too popular. I would however use Noa for a girl.

Quite Scarlet it sounds whiney.

I'm not really keen on the name, its popularity wouldn't make me like it more, but I know some really lovely ones so I do like it more than I would have.

I am not personally keen. But if you like it that is all that matters?

Yes I really like it

No.

Too Biblical for my liking. Too old man with a beard and an ark with animals.

Used to love it when pregnant with DS however then DP vetoed it. After hearing Noahhhh and Nicoooo recently I decidedly do not like it.

I like it. I've never liked Olivia which is one of the most popular girls names out there at the moment though

I've never been keen - probably because it's one of those words I find hard to pronounce for some reason
Think there's hundreds of better choices tbh but ultimately it's up to you OP, as long as you love it then go for it

There are lots and lots of them here but I have never liked it, to me it is wishy washy and weak. A bit wet really.

I think it's a lovely name.

I've never liked it even before it was so popular. It just isn't a nice name to me. Completely irrationally hate it!

All N names suffer badly when people have colds, too

Like SuperBeagle I find it just too Biblical. Luke and Matthew are Biblical but Noah is on a par with Moses or Jesus in terms of Biblical..ness.
