I love it! Its cute and spunky. I prefer Noa on a girl and Noah on a boy

Noa looks like Boa, and has a kind of snaky feel to me. I'd prefer Nola or Nora or Nona. As for Noah - if you were writing it in Hebrew all the time, then maybe it would be okay, but in English, it's a boy's name.

Noa as a form of Noah is not to my liking at all, and Noah on a girl seems a bit ridiculous to me.

It's my favorite girls name so I love it! I prefer it spelled Noah, but Noa is fine as well.

What do you think of Noa/Noah on a girl and why?
-I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. I can easily see it on a girl. The only thing is, I *hate* the Cyrus family link, and I think the name may have a boost in popularity because of them.

Which do you prefer?
-Noa for a girl, Noah for a boy.

---

Any combo suggestions?
-Sure...

If you want to use that name for a girl I think you should spell it Noa. I came across my very first female Noa when I lived in France and if I remember correctly it was a very popular name for girls in Belgium (I lived close to the Belgian border). I don't really mind Noa on a girl but since Noa is the standard spelling for boys where I live it just seems like a very maculine name to me.

My combo suggestion is Noa Victoria

People on this website seem to have a fetish with this name on a girl...it's weird.

I'm seriously allergic to this name. I think Noa is a supremely ugly name on a girl. I know it's different from the masculine Noah of the Ark fame, but it still strikes me as horrible. It's very popular in Israel right now, but I don't understand the attraction elsewhere.
It's so short and plain - lacking the charm of Eva, Eve, or Ava.
I also think it will fall from popularity as fast as it rose, dating all those little girls out there who have the misfortune to bear it.

I hate Noa, it is a horrible, tacky spelling of an obviously male name. I know two guys named Noah; they are both funny and outgoing, therefore I like that name for a boy since I have a positive image of it. Noa makes me think of Miley Cyrus' nine-year old little sister who wears bikinis and poses on stripper poles.

Noa is a girls name to me, and Noah is a boy. Noah on a girl is just horrible. It's like naming a girl John.

But anyway. Noa on a girl is nice. It's sweet but yet strong enough to work on a grown up.
