I don't like Noah for a girl. Theoretically it works because it has quite a feminine sound, but Noah is SO common for boys that a girl called Noah is just asking for trouble. Noa is marginally better, but looks like a trendy spelling of Noah and sounds the same, so I still think people would assume it's a boy.

Irene is the first name I thought of when I saw Reenie. I don't really like it, though, Reenie sounds whiny!

For a boy or girl, Noa(h) still starts with a very heavy NO! And I greatly dislike it for its negativity.

Reenie ... well, Irene does spring to mind.

I use to REALLY love Noa on girl (stick with Noa spelling, Noah is exclusively male IMO) and still really like it. For Reenie, how about Sabrina? or there's Serena, Sandrine, Katrina, Carina, Adrina / Audrina, Marina, Verene, Zareen

I love Noah on a boy, but it's just silly on a girl. It's like naming a girl Michael or Thomas. Maybe Norah or Nola instead?

I don't care for Reenie at all, but it works as a nickname for Regina, Rhiannon, Rena, Irene, Irina, Carina, Katarina...

Noah is nice on a boy, but seems silly on a girl. In the US, Noah is overwhelmingly male, and if it was used on a girl it would seem to be a deliberate flouting of the convention for the sake of flouting it; that kind of thing is never attractive.

Reenie is gross as a nn. I do know of one woman who is called that. Her name is Irene.
