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've never liked Noah, so it's not just the popularity that puts me off. I love Patrick though.

Noah Patrick is a great combination. Look no further!

Peachbubble · 04/06/2019 08:56

I like it

Don't like it at all--very wet sounding. But popular so you won't get any weird reactions.

I don’t like it, it’s just too common nowadays and rather plain.

Patrick is awesome.

Where I live Noa, the girls name is so popular you could not have Noah (Spain). So I guess ok if you are staying in England.
I do find it quite boring though, there are so many of them.

I much prefer Patrick. Great strong name.

Noah sounds so soft and feminine in comparison.

Patrick is so old fashion
I can't picture a baby Patrick and plus it's sponge Bob Square pants stupid friend
I'm all in for noah

I too much prefer Patrick. It’s a much fresher name. The Noahs I know are in their very late teens or early 20s. It’s a bit dated.

We’re between Noah Patrick and Oscar Patrick.
Hoping il find it easier when he makes an appearance and we can see what he looks like. Thanks all for the input so far - it really does help.

Your welcome. My ds has that name and he’s gorgeous. I love your other name name choice too. You have excellent taste imo!

SumAndSubstance · 11/06/2019 12:26

I do like Noah, but I prefer Oscar. Patrick is the best of the three though Wink

Lavenderblues · 11/06/2019 15:11

Patrick is lovely!

Much more interesting than Noah or Oscar.

Weak and weirdly puffy - like wet Quavers or Wotsits.

Astronica · 12/06/2019 06:48

Oscar Patrick is great and much much better than Noah.

MiniMaxi · 12/06/2019 06:51

Noah Patrick sounds great!
