Help[Opinions] Noa
I don't think I like this name, for a girl. I love Noah for a boy, though.
What do you think of Noa/Noah? Would you use either?
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I dislike both. That NO at the beginning is most discouraging.

In my mom group, we have a girl Noa but no boy Noahs, fwiw.
I like both. I think I'd use either as a middle name.

Nice for a girl but super boring on a boy.

It DOES work well, as a middle name. I love it. :)

Everyone in your family, or everyone, in general?
With the name lists you share, it doesn't seem like a girl Noa would be too out there in Fargo, but I could be wrong.

When I was pregnant with Miriam I wasn't around as many kids as I am now.
Thinking about it now, after coming across the names I've come across over the years? Yeah, you're right - it wouldn't be too odd.
But I once spent five minutes arguing with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law over whether or not Ira was a girls' name and gave up. I love my family and my in-laws, but they are not shy with their opinions and I would have spent a ridiculous amount of time explaining again and again about Noa being a femimine name.
Also, I don't care if someone is willing to name their kid Issachar, Bear, Atlas, Tiberius, etc. My kid is going to have go by the name and I know how exhausting it can be when people keep asking about your name. Had I named her Noa I would have been explaining why all the time and that would have gotten old. Miriam is as uncommon as I was willing to get.

I don't like it for a girl at all. It's all boy to me. I do like Noah very much on a boy. I wouldn't mind using it.

I have to wonder if I wouldn't care about popularity, if I had a child? I would like to say 'no', and that I would use whatever named I liked, regardless, but individuality through a name matters, too. Who knows?

I personally dislike Noa for a girl. It sounds better on a boy and as far as using it...who knows. If I never do (meaning in real life because I did use it for one of my characters) it won't be due to it's popularity, provided if the name is still resting high on the charts by then.
I don't mind the spelling of Noa but I do prefer Noah. It just looks more familiar and complete. More natural.
