Noah

[Annabelle4]

Maybe this has been done to death on here, but I've just seen it described on another thread as 'chavvy'

I adore the name and would probably choose it for a boy if I am lucky enough to have another. I know that it has become quite popular, but funnily enough I don't know any.

Thoughts?

That's awful early30smum
And such an extreme over reaction

I'd be devastated if my parents said that about our favourite name.

Noah isn't chavvy. It is popular but that's not a reason not to use it if you love it.

Yes, I wasn't very happy. But love our DS's name and it was a close second so not too bothered. My parents have very specific views on everything. They also said DD's name was 'a bit footballer's wives' when we announced it!

In our school it is the cool boy all the little girls have crushes on. Great name

popular yes..chavvy..no. But just where are all the adult Noahs? Never met one..

I really wanted to call DS2 Noah but everyone including DH and DM were aghast and said he'd get laughed at. He's 19 now and I don't know any Noahs his age (which was part of the appeal) but a few years later it became really popular.

I have one and absolutely love it. I had mine about 6 months before it got crazy popular & got a lot of eyebrow lifts when I said it because it was seen as more on the unusual side. Then the film came out and apparently it's everywhere.
I've come across the odd one but where I am all the boys are Harry Henry or James. My son is in a church school & is the only Noah. However I imagine in the next year or 2 there will be a few more coming into reception.

I don't see it as a chavvy name at all but maybe I am biased ..... or just a chav lol.
