HelpRe: Noa
in reply to a message by solveig
Everyone in your family, or everyone, in general?
With the name lists you share, it doesn't seem like a girl Noa would be too out there in Fargo, but I could be wrong.
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

When I was pregnant with Miriam I wasn't around as many kids as I am now.
Thinking about it now, after coming across the names I've come across over the years? Yeah, you're right - it wouldn't be too odd.
But I once spent five minutes arguing with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law over whether or not Ira was a girls' name and gave up. I love my family and my in-laws, but they are not shy with their opinions and I would have spent a ridiculous amount of time explaining again and again about Noa being a femimine name.
Also, I don't care if someone is willing to name their kid Issachar, Bear, Atlas, Tiberius, etc. My kid is going to have go by the name and I know how exhausting it can be when people keep asking about your name. Had I named her Noa I would have been explaining why all the time and that would have gotten old. Miriam is as uncommon as I was willing to get.
