We are struggling to narrow down our final shortlist.
We are fully aware these are popular names and this does not worry us. So please comment on the names rather than popularity.

If you had to pick your favourite out of the following, which one would you choose? And why? (Noah is big brother).

Noah and Ella.
Noah and Ava.
Noah and Eva.
Noah and Sofia.
Noah and Poppy.
Noah and Luna.

Thank you.

My favourite is Ava. I think it's simple, classic, good for when she's a baby and an adult.

I think Poppy goes best with Noah though. Two names ending with the 'uh' sound is a bit matchy/bit of a mouthful.

They're all nice though. Apart from Luna which just makes me think of a Labradoodle for some reason!

Noah & Ava ❤️

Kittymitty38 · 13/06/2020 20:19

Also, Noah & Eda

Luna is lovely. The other names are used quite a lot where I am and quite popular if that bothers you.

GoingBackTo505 · 13/06/2020 20:23

Oh god I'm so sorry. Just read your post properly. I'll shut up now!

DramaAlpaca · 13/06/2020 20:25

Ava for me.

gypsywater · 13/06/2020 20:27

Poppy. Not keen on having two with the same "ah" sound at the end. Noah and Poppy is lovely.

fantasmasgoria1 · 13/06/2020 20:28

I love luna!

Angelonia · 13/06/2020 20:29

Poppy - love this.

missmouse101 · 13/06/2020 20:30

Poppy. Sofia looks like sofa and Luna reminds me of loony. Others meh.

Tsubasa1 · 13/06/2020 20:32

I like Ella or Poppy.

Spidey66 · 13/06/2020 20:36

I'm not keen on Luna tbh. I'd worry they'd get called Lunatic at school. All the others are lovely, though I prefer Sophia to Sofia. I think Poppy goes best with Noah though.

arianwe · 13/06/2020 20:47

Ava x

MarshaBradyo · 13/06/2020 20:49

Noah and Sofia

Not keen on any of the others really

WSLTitanic1912 · 13/06/2020 21:00

Thank you all so far!
The comments around your choices are so helpful too. You've thought of some things we hadn't even considered. Xx

Poppy

OnABeachSomewhere · 13/06/2020 21:50

Poppy, with Sofia as middle name.

daisypond · 13/06/2020 22:17

I wouldn’t consider Ella (bland and means she ) or Luna (ridiculous)
Sophia is nice - spelled that way. Why would you spell it with an F?
I like Poppy.
Eva and Ava are too plain and short for me. But I think Eva goes best with Noah, except for the a sound at the end, which makes it matchy.

sweetnosugar · 13/06/2020 23:38

Sofia is lovely! However I’m picky and prefer the Sophia spelling.

123Dancewithme · 14/06/2020 00:40

Noah and Poppy

Kokeshi123 · 14/06/2020 07:59

Sofia! I can't get over "lunatic," and the others are just a bit bland. Sofia is an elegant classic and it travels well.

WSLTitanic1912 · 14/06/2020 08:11

Been through the responses and this is how things are looking at the minute:

Noah and Ella 1
Noah and Ava 1111
Noah and Eva
Noah and Sofia 1111
Noah and Poppy 111111111
Noah and Luna 11

Any more responses would be lost appreciate. X

I think they all "fit" together.

Noah and Ella - Ella is just so boring at the moment
Noah and Ava - Ava is uber popular too but I still really like it. It's pretty.
Noah and Eva - Ava is prettier imo
Noah and Sofia - I like Sofia/Sophia but there are hundreds of them and the two ways of spelling it could get very annoying
Noah and Poppy - I think this is the most refreshing feeling pairing
Noah and Luna - I love Luna, I think it's pretty and the one I know suits it very well. However it sounds a bit funny with Noah for me,

I personally would use Noah and Ava but both Poppy and Luna are close runners-up.

Whatsyourflava · 15/06/2020 13:08

I think all your choices are lovely

People on Mumsnet never like Luna but I'm real life it's shot you in popularity so there are many who love it (I love it!)

My choices would be Luna, Poppy or Ella or Sofia
