Hope

[noahsmum256]

Can I just ask for your honest opinions on Hope please?
I keep coming back to it. However, in my head I keep doubting whether it would work on a "real person".
Ive done some googling and some sites say Hope gets nicknames such as Hopefull or worse Hopeless. Which obviously wouldn't be great if there was teasing potential. Hmm....
Also, would Hope go with Noah? Or not really?

Thank you 😊

I like it.

I like it. I know a small Hope and it suits her. It seems an appropriate name too based upon current circumstances.

I like it as a name, it is very classic.

I think it's lovely.

I think it lovely, and particularly pertinent to current times. A child born now when we all hope for better times.

LOVE IT!

Absolutely gorgeous name! Special meaning for me too x

I think Hope just sounds a bit cheesy, which is strange as dd1 has a virtue name and I'm a big fan of Faith also but I just can't get behind Hope. Plenty of people like it though :)

It’s a lovely name, and fitting with the time too.

Wow.... Im truly overwhelmed by reading such positive reponses to the name Hope.
Its thrown a massive spanner in the works. As I was almost set on Harper for a girl and Hope just came to me. I kept changing Harper for Hope, hence the decision to ask you all to get the general consenus on the name......
Now I'm in a quandry what to do?! 🤔

I wouldn't go with Hope, just because the word comes up so much in common language, something you may not notice how much until it's your own child's name.
'Its hopeless' 'Hope to see you soon' 'I hope we don't get rained off' etc etc

Hope is better than Harper. I do quite like Harper but it’s a bit of a celeb name because of Posh and Becks. Hope is a bit more unusual and apt at the current time.

I really like virtue names though, we have Faith on our shortlist.

Hope and Faith are much nicer names than Harper in my opinion. Go for it!

I do like it , but it’s quite popular here . As a middle name it would be lovely too! I met triplets once who, no word of a lie, were called Hope, Faith & Grace haha . I’m not a huge fan of virtue names But Hope is ok and goes well with Noah. But what about another biblical name to go with Noah?

Absolutely gorgeous.
Was on my list for my long awaited DD.

Hannah is more biblical and goes with Noah. Heidi is lovely.
I know a Hope, have never liked the name. Harper even less.

Oh, I love Hope. If I'd had another daughter, she would've been Hope.

GaaaaarlicBread Sadly there aren't really any biblical girls names I like.

What about Abigail or Esther ? They’re biblical and go well with Noah (which is a lovely name by the way!)

I feel your pain OP - Biblical girls names are hard! We could have had a football team of boys, but really struggled with girls names and yet ended up with 3 girls! We ended up choosing names based on their meanings rather than being specifically Biblical names. Some Hebrew names have really beautiful God centred names.

(If that’s what you’re looking for!) Hope is beautiful though!

Harper is loads nicer than Hope @noahsmum256

The shortening for Hope is Hoe 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Hope is vastly more classy than Harper.
