Given Theo actually means God and Noah obvs has the ark link, would it be odd for an atheist to use both/either? Would you think of these as religious names? Thanks!

No, it really doesn't matter. So many popular names are from the bible

Love both names. My OH vetoed both but they’re two of my faves.

There are loads of really popular Biblical names that no one gives a second thought to:

Sarah
Hannah
Luke
Thomas

to name but a few. I don't think anyone will Bat an eyelash at an atheist using a Biblical name

I don’t think it would be odd for an atheist to use those names. I like both of them, especially Theo.

Both lovely classic names and I would not think of them as religious. I'm also an atheist and had Theo on my list for possible names and didn't even think of that
