Pronunciation of Noah ...

[heavenstobetsy]

further to the earlier thread, how do you pronounce Noah.

I have only ever heard it as No-ah but my Mum insists on saying Nor, which I think might be an Arabic pronunciation (or she may just be bonkers )

My DS is Noah, pronounced No-ah. Have heard people from the north east pronounce it more like Noo-ah though.

Big W - I'm from London, too and was brought up pronouncing it Nor. Only when I went to posh secondary school, did I hear No-ah used.

I don't think it's an accent thing, it's a different pronunciation. Like Boudicca/Boadicea (sort of).

My Mum (who is a bit bonkers) says noor. Midlands but with a fairly neutral accent.
