I find it really pretty and such an interesting name. I usually thought it should be a boy's name, but then I realized how cool and adorable it is on a girl.
What a pretty, sweet and simple name that still manages to sound classy and sophisticated. I really like it for a girl.

This is my best friend's name! I guess that's why I don't think of Noa as a masculine name, since my friend is a girl. The meaning of this name (motion) fits Noa especially well, as she's very energetic and hyper.
I might consider using the name Noa if I ever have a daughter. I have a wonderful friend named this. Noa is simple, not too common, and easy to pronounce in Spanish. As a Hebrew speaker, I can say that this is a timeless and classic name that will never get old! :)
My 10 month old daughter's name is Noa Grace. I did not know that it was a very popular female name in Israel. I just liked it. I did know it meant movement in Israeli but did not know in Japanese it means love. This is neat to know. And as far as it being too masculine... I get why people here in the U.S. would say that because Noah is a popular boy name but I think without the "H" and with a really girly middle name it works. I am glad I named her this and it fits my nugget perfect.
Noa sounds feminine and it is meant to sound that way. Noa is a popular girls name in Israel. The boys name we know as Noah, on the other hand, is pronounced "Noak" in Israel. And that does sound more masculine. Noa is a beautiful name for a girl.

Noa is still pronounced as Noah. Regardless of them being entirely different names, I still wouldn’t use it on a girl. With so many beautiful girl names, why would you choose this?

This name comes across as incomplete to me and I don't care for it on a girl regardless of whatever anyone claims.

We named our daughter Noa. I think it sounds really feminine, and I loved how it was traditional but still sounded modern. There's a perfume called 'Noa' and a ladies clothes shop called 'Noa Noa' so I always knew it was a girl's name, but I have been surprised by how unusual people think it is in the UK. I've got Spanish and Dutch friends and they've told me it's a really common name back home. I hope my little girl loves her name!
I love NOA for a girl. But I'd probably only use it as a middle name due to the popularity of Noah for a boy. (And I love Noah for a boy too!)

I don't like this name and I wouldnt use it in an English speaking country. Sure, it's a legitimately feminine name, but it still sounds the same as Noah, which is super popular and trendy on boys.

I strongly believe that this is the perfect, acceptable spelling for a girl, NOT 'Noah' as Noah should only be used for boys since it's a MASCULINE name. The female name 'Noa' has a lovely Japanese meaning too. ^^

I find this a good feminine variant of the name Noah.
I love the sound of this name. I would name a son Noah or a daughter Noa. It would of course either be a son name Noah or a daughter named Noa, not both because it would be weird to have 2 kids named Noa and Noah.

I absolutely love this name. I like how it can fit either a girly-girl, or it can fit the most tomboyish girl on earth.
