HelpRe: Choose one - my favorite Hebrew names :)
in reply to a message by Raven Briar
If your point is just how it comes across in the US...A-ending names come across as feminine or unisex to some degree, in the US, whether you like it or not.
I understand with Joshua, why someone wouldn't want it to be unisex, but I don't think Noa is a good example to use in the "boys' names are only for boys" argument.

Noah has always sounded feminine to me and it is an improper translation. I just don't like it on boys and it was never a very common name in the English-speaking world until recently. To me, a boys name shouldn't end in an -a. I just don't find it to be a masculine sound, maybe this is why I dislike a good majority of Biblical Hebrew names translated into English. I love Noa on a girl and that is saying a lot as I hate the boys names on girls name trend.
