Huh? As far as I know they don't even have the same letters in Hebrew so you don't make sense. And whether you translate it as Noah or Noa doesn't matter just as it doesn't matter whether you translate Sarah as Sarah or Sara, Hannah as Hannah or Hanna etc.

By the way in Hebrew Noah doesn't exist as a masculine name at all. The masculine name is pronounced like Noach (also the pronunciation of the name of the ark guy in the Bible) and everything that sounds like NO-a is feminine there. I love Noah for a girl.

And the Michaela/Michael argument is kind of silly because Michaela and Michael clearly don't sound the same whereas Noah and Noa do.
