Its a boys name to me, the similar sounding Nisha is female though

Really? Do you think Joshua sounds feminine too? It's almost the same set of sounds . . .

Naoise is a fine name for a boy. If you want those sounds on a girl, use Nisha (it's Indian). I also know a lady from Sri Lanka named Neesha - probably the same as Nisha but transcribed differently. Nisha is fine for a girl.

When I saw it I thought it was a girls name :O

Its a boys name, but if you like the sound you could go with the Indian name Nisha.

I like it in theory, but would never use it. It would get mis-pronounced all the time. And you're right, it does sound feminine. Reminds me of the girl's name Nisha

It's a boys' name

And should remain that way, regardless of how 'feminine' it might sound or look (I personally don't think it does).

I like it, it's on my list, for a boy only.

My eyes over look the a

so I am reading Noise. Female was my first thought when I saw it, and I would never have guessed the pn that is stated on this site.

For one thing, it's awful on a girl. There are enough girl names out there without stealing all the boys' names.

That said, I hate it on either gender, sorry. It sounds ugly and insubstantial and looks like "noisy".

I love the name myself. But for living in Canada I don't think the sound would go over so well and the spelling would confuse everyone.

It's okay, I guess. I do agree that it is more feminine, soI too would like to see it on a girl.

I like the sound of it, but the spelling is to close to "noise"

I don't find it appealing, but most Gaelic names fall into that catagory for me. Visually, it's so close to the word "noise" that I'm turned off.

I do agree that it sound more feminine than masculine. It would be okay as a mn for either gender.
