I love it for a boy (spelled Noah, of course), but hate it for a girl. I've only known it as a masculine name, so it seems strange to me that parents have been naming their daughters this.

I like Amalia the best followed by Elisa. Rosalia is fine, but I prefer Rosalie. Stella Noa sounds too much like Stella Nova.

I have dualistic feelings about Noa - in Finland, where you don't really see names with -h at the end, Noa or Nooa are only and only masculine names. At the same time, I really like Noa's round and friendly sounds and after some thinking I can easily imagine it on a girl.

Amalia Noa is definitely a gem! I adore the fluffy, chocolate feeling it has! Rosalia Noa is pretty, too, but not as good as Amalia Noa.

I really loathe this name. I just don't find it pretty at all.
There are so many lovely and often relatively underused Hebrew names out there - such as Aviva, Dalia, Ilana, Levana, Liraz, Livna, Meira, Merav, Ophira, Shira, Ziva - that I can't understand why Noa is so mega-popular.

I think I posted a thread about the name Noa a few weeks ago so maybe you can still find it when you search for it to get more opinions.

It's one of my favorite girls names. I also love Michal (MEE-khal) for a girl. I like Noa and Noah for a girl. The little sister of Miley Cyrus (daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus) is named Noah Lindsey so I think Noah could also be used for a girl. You can't really translate the letters from Hebrew to English anyway, but the sound. So I think Noah for a girl is just as usable as Noa.

I like Noa as a first name. I really love Noa Rebecca. As a middle name it's nice as well but I just prefer it as a first name. The problem is that the other names I love (Estella, Tabitha) are really feminine so I think Noa and Estella doesn't make for a very good combo for sisters. I'm not sure if I would use it but I think I might, for the youngest daughter.

Rosalia Noa is pretty. I would suggest Rebecca Noa or Michal Noa (maybe a bit masculine) but you said you didn't want a Hebrew name. How about Anna Noa, Sophie Noa, Eliza Noa, Estella Noa, Caroline Noa, Isabel Noa, Eve Noa, Zoe Noa, Mary Noa....hmmmm do you consider Eve Hebrew because it's the English form of a Hebrew name ?

I can't stand it...

I still don't see Noa as a name. I like Noah, but for a boy. Yes, I know what it says on here, but I still think it's extremely trendy. I hate it.
I like these first names:
Elisa
Stella
Rosalia

Amalia just looks like a mispelling of Amelia.

I think Elisa Noa sounds the best from your options. The others seem too sing-songy to me.
wdyto
Luisa Noa
Alexandra Noa
Ginevra Noa
Ophelia Noa

Love the name in German. Don't really like it in English...

They're all lovely.

I love Stella Noa
