Noah or Loxley?

[charliem20]

I'm 25 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. Ever since we found out I'm having a boy, my partner and I have been calling him Noah, but lately we've been falling out of love with the name because of how popular it's becoming.

I found the name Loxley and I fell in love. It's super uncommon, but is it too out there?

What do you think? I'm open to any other name suggestions.

Loxley to me is a sub brand of easel

I quite like Loxley, but It seems a bit forced when I’m saying it in my head. I’m saying Lockly. Lolky. Locksey. Locky.
So I’d go with Noah. It’s a nice normal name It’s easy to pronounce. No tongue twister issues ect.

What about Huxley? Although I much prefer Noah to both.

Noah. It's been around a long time for a good reason. And if it's popular,so what?

Loxley is a surname or a place. As is Huxley.

Lower loxley?😁

Or Loxley Barrett even

Hope your name's not Barrett OP!

Oh I've never heard of Loxley but I love it! Noah is boring these days.

Anything but Noah.

Loxley is fine.

Noah. Loxley reminds me of Robin Hood.

Noah is such a brilliant name, there's a reason it's so popular! It's been on my Boy's baby name list since I've been 13 (I'll not be having anymore babies though so will never get to use it)

I'm not too keen on Loxley to be honest, but if you and your DP love it that should be all that matters.

Loxley as in Robin of Loxley? Do you live in Nottingham???

Noah is gorgeous
Loxley is just odd, sorry

Loxley sounds like the baddy from an X-Men film.

Perhaps OP should call him Magneto.

Noah is a great name and although it always seems to rank high in charts I've never met one and I've worked with children for the past 12 years

I’ve got a Noah, he’s 16 now and his name wasn’t common at all when we named him. I still love it and it doesn’t bother me that there are far more of them around. 🥰

Loxley is ludicrous. Don’t do that to a child.

Noah is lovely but totally overdone now.

Noah.

Don’t get me wrong Loxley is a lovely village but a name for a human child it is not.

Loxley sounds a bit adjective-y to me. 'Yeah, I'm feeling a bit loxley this morning, I think it might be Karen's saag paneer.'

Noah is much better. Or, as others have suggested, Lachlan.

Alternatives to Loxley:
Lachlan (Lachy)
Lorcan (Lawrie)
Lawrence (Lawrie for short, not Larry!)
Huxley (I like this one!! Hux is a super cool nickname)
Axl

Loxley is truly terrible.

Noah
Loxley sounds like it should be a village in the Cotswolds.

I love Loxley.

Noah
