Noah or Elijah?

[drumst1ck]

Which boy's name would you pick out of Noah and Elijah?

I'm biased as I have an Elijah.

Elijah but both nice

Elijah. Eli is a nice abbreviation and Noah is so overused!

Noah

Soooo many Noahs! Elijah for me..love Eli as nn

Elijah. Noah is overused.

Love both but prefer Elijah!

Noah is my nephew and Elijah is my good friends son.

I like both

My nephew is Elijah so I'm biased. He has a brother named Jonah which I love even more.

Looks like Elijah is the favourite here!

Elijah.

I'm not that keen on it (though I don't mind Eli) but I'd choose it because I cannot stand Noah. It's got such a whiny sound to it.

Noah. But if its Eli as opposed to Elijah, I'd choose that over Noah.

Of the two Elijah (although I prefer the similar, but more international Elias). Noah has become so popular in the last 10/15 years that I think it's going to date more.

Noah utterly strong beautiful boys name.

Also don’t think it will date as it’s very classic.

Noah utterly strong beautiful boys name.

So interesting how different people perceive names. I think it's exactly the opposite of strong. I see Noah as weak, unattractive and, as I said above, whiny. It's biblical rather than classic, and as it's so popular now it certainly will date.

I don't think either is classic, both are having a big run now, and will date in a few years. You might guess that I'm not keen on either, but would choose Noah out of the two.

Appreciate 'popular' names are often a bit overused but we both love these two. Swaying towards Elijah! Thanks all

I don't think biblical names really date.

I love both.

I also like both but I think Noah is very popular now and I prefer the sound of Elijah, plus I love the nickname Eli

Both nice
Really love nickname or full name Eli too

Love both names but especially like Elijah/ Eli

I agree that biblical names dont date. I love both but also prefer Elijah.

So interesting how different people perceive names. I think it's exactly the opposite of strong. I see Noah as weak, unattractive and, as I said above, whiny.

I think the same! Noah is a right wet blanket to me.

Elijah is lovely. Eli is very popular with the Amish, aside from that I like it a lot.
