Noah

Just wondering peoples thoughts on Noah for our DS due soon.

I’m not worried about popularity - interested in people’s opinion of the name in general.

Middle name would probably be Patrick.

Thanks in advance!

I used to love the name Noah but then I started hearing it everywhere and it sounds awful in some accents which put me off. Just really...unfinished.

If you live somewhere with a lovely accent I'd go for it - it's not that common. Probably wouldn't be the only one in his school with the name, but likely to be the only Noah in his class.

Love Noah and love Patrick

I like classic names. I think it's a good name. Suits all ages and is dignified and strong.

Was my first choice for my ds but his dad vetoed it. I love it

Noah Patrick - ooo, lovely! Great names and great combo, OP.

Freyasmum1 · 03/06/2019 21:08

Lovely 😊

daisypond · 03/06/2019 21:09

It’s OK, but I wouldn’t use it, because I find the Noah story off-putting.

Thanks all - more positive than what I thought would be. If it was my choice alone he’d be Patrick but DH not having it!

Thanks for feedback.

Noah is a lovely name, it goes nice with Patrick as a middle name.

Miljah · 03/06/2019 21:54

I like it.

Noah Patrick works!

Malyshek · 03/06/2019 22:12

It's fine. Not my first choice but it is not a name that will attract any negative attention. Bit reoigi

Malyshek · 03/06/2019 22:13

Sent too fast. Bit religious for my liking but otherwise a fine name.

lavenderblues · 03/06/2019 22:37

I'm not keen on the sound- a bit like a whiny No - and it sounds similar to the girl's name Noa.

Patrick is lovely!

Tillygetsit · 03/06/2019 22:42

I love it. Patrick (nn Paddy which was how I snuck it past DH) was on our ds list for number 3 but it didnt suit her!

Lobsterquadrille2 · 03/06/2019 22:48

Love it.

BellMcEnd · 03/06/2019 22:50

Love it. Noah is a great name and goes v well with Patrick

SemperIdem · 03/06/2019 22:51

I think it is a lovely name. I’ve never actually met one, though I know it is a popular name overall.

Bluerussian · 03/06/2019 22:59

I like the name, Noah, very much indeed but it has become fashionable and may soon be quite 'common'. That would stop me calling a child Noah.

Chocmallows · 03/06/2019 22:59

It's a middle-ground name to me, but I think I would like it if I heard it more. Goes well with Patrick.

JaneGlorianaVillanueva · 03/06/2019 23:12

I really like it! I'd probably add it to my own list but I have a 12 year old family member called Noah!

DramaAlpaca · 03/06/2019 23:17

I don't like Noah at all, sorry, never have. I just don't like those two sounds together.

I absolutely love Patrick though, but not any of the diminutives so it's a perfect middle name.

sarahjaneg · 03/06/2019 23:19

My 7yr old is noah- chosen by his big brother when we couldn't think of a name! There'a only one other in the whole school ( and it's a Catholic school) not just saying it but every Noah I've met has been a lovely child and very sweet- including mine! 😂
I do think it's a bit like marmite - people seem to really like or really dislike it x

My most disliked boys name. Sounds like a strained protest!

Penny4Thoughts · 04/06/2019 08:06

I really like Noah I also like Noam
