Just interested in opinion for our baby boys name, due in April/ May. We are deciding between Noah and Oliver. Middle name will be Edward. Which do you prefer?

Edward Noah

Wait til he's born and see which one he is 😊 both nice names

I find names ending in a vowel don’t sound good when they run into a word starting with a vowel.

Noah-er-edward/ Noeredward . Especially as Noah is two vowel sounds running into the e of Edward.

So yes, the Edward Noah suggestion sounds better IMO.
As does Edward Oliver.

You can use whichever name you like in daily life.

Don't use a middle name as the known as name - it can be a PITA.
I agree about the two vowels but if you like Noah Edward then use it.

Thanks everyone. We've really enjoyed reading your thoughts and responses! I think it's a case of seeing what he looks like when he's here and then deciding.

I love Oliver but I hate Ollie and no doubt it will get turned to that at some point in life!
