This is a great name for a boy. When I hear it I immediately picture a strong, handsome, intelligent, masculine guy. This is also the name of one of the main characters in the film version of Nicholas Sparks romance novel 'The Notebook'.

I love this name, it's my nephew's name. Noah Daniel. I also like the name Noa for a girl, but I prefer Noah on a boy.

Noah is an awesome name! The name Noah is more for a boy.
-- april14  1/9/2007
I like this name, but It seems just too ... I don't know but I'm fairly certain I would never give this name to my child.
-- gracielou16  1/22/2007
I do like the name Noah, but I don't think I would ever call a child that.
-- FirChlis  1/29/2007
The name Noah for boys is becoming very popular it seems like. But I would say it is my favorite name. My boyfriend's name is Noah and his mom always tells me she choose it for him because when he was born he was like her "rainbow after the storm" (like Noah's Ark). I thought it was kinda cute. ( :

I am definitely not a religious person, but this name just has this kind of resonance that I absolutely love.

My younger son is named Noah, I liked it from Noah Wyle in E.R. (John Carter). It means rest/comfort and it worked, he was a great sleeping baby and still is!

-- Aqua  4/6/2007
I never really liked this name. It's my cousin's name (he pronounces it NO-uh), and now I'll think of a short, brown-curly-haired kid with big teeth whenever I hear the name. I'm not religious, and I tend to dislike anything to do with Christianity, but this name is alright, I guess.

I named my son Noah, I just love this name for a boy. It's such a cute baby name, and when he gets older he'll be a "hottie" Noah! LOL
-- topaz1217  5/16/2007
Other classic names have undesirable nicknames, but Noah is Noah. No wonder people are realizing what a strong, simple, and wondeful name it is.
-- Fionafabulous  6/19/2007
It´s also the Czech and Slovak form.
Name Day: 10th November.
-- Karcoolka  7/9/2007
I love the name Noah, when I'm older if I have a boy I'm going to name him Noah. Noah is a great name for a little boy and a grown man. A very wonderful, cute man I might add.
-- aja3  8/1/2007
I think Noah is a soft, yet strong name.
-- applemilk  8/29/2007
I love this name. I would definitely name my son this (if I had one) if I didn't think he would be teased about it. Which unfortunatley a child called Noah would. But if I do ever have a son this will be his middle name. Although all of my friends think it's a weird name, I love it. I think it's unique and would sound really cute on a little boy.

I love this name and the meaning as well. I plan on using this as a middle name for my first son.
-- renee06  2/16/2008
I love this name for a little boy! My favorite combo is Jacob Noah. I think it's sweet. I would recommend this name for anyone who wants a biblical name for their son.
-- Patricia Underwood  3/7/2008
I love this name for a little boy. I plan to name my firstborn little son Noah. I just hope the names will not go out of fashion because I want modern, "in" names for my childen; not outdated, old fashioned ones. For example, Jason is gettin pretty 1970-1980's. I don't want that to happen to my little Noah.

I like this version for a boy and Noa without an h for a girl.

Noah Hathaway is an actor who portrayed Atreyu in the 1984 movie: The Neverending Story.
-- tigerlilly  4/18/2008
Boy, this really has become popular in Scandinavia, especially in Norway. It seems like every little boy I meet bears this name, and the most common combo has to be Noah Alexander. The worst part is that the parents feel SO creative for giving their son the name Noah Alexander, and they don't realise they aren't before he starts in kindergarden and gets to know six other Noah Alexanders.

This name is AWEFUL. It's so overused, and it sounds way too feminine.
-- patsysservant  5/20/2008
Number 23 for boys in 2005. I love this name for a little boy. But Billy Ray Cyrus's (I think she's his youngest) daughter's name is Noah.
-- Patricia Underwood  7/10/2008
I really like this name for either gender. I would use the spelling Noah for a boy and Noa for a girl. It's a man's and woman's name in the Bible.

My youngest daughter is named Noah Elizbeth. I love the name for either a boy or a girl, it's just really a beautiful name, no matter what gender. I always get so many compliments from my daughter's teachers on how beautiful they think her name is. Break the conformity! If you want to name your daughter Ryan, or Evan, or Chase, go ahead! I think it's dumb to hold back from using a name just because it's "masculine." I mean, I don't think anyone would name their daughter "Christopher", or "Daniel", but names like Evan, Chase, Noah, and Charley are also suited for a girl!
-- Anonymous User  8/18/2009
It's very overused, and I agree that some people using it just want to be "creative", not knowing a lot of little boys have this name. I prefer it on a girl, anyway.
-- bananarama  9/4/2009
Scanning through the comments it seems like people either think the name is extremely overused or they think it's weird like they've never heard of anyone named Noah before. I'm in the middle. It's a popular name but not every little boy has it. I don't think it's at all feminine. More just soft. My boyfriend is named Noah so I may be (a bit) biased but I think of a very intelligent, sensitive, and complex man. Reserved and shy.

Comments for NOAH (2):

Noah was the youngest daughter of Zelophahad, who died without any male heir. His five daughters requested, against custom, to inherit their father's lands. After consulting with God, Moses agreed that it was their right; thus the daughters of Zelopahahd gained their reputation as the first known feminists in history. (The other four daughters were Mahlah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah.)
-- noae  12/4/2004
I had thought that the name Noah was only a masculine name.
-- websurfer  5/29/2006
I actually love Noah on a girl. It seems much more feminine to me.
-- Mithos514  8/15/2006
The masculine name Noah in Hebrew is pronounced NoaKH, (the kh sounding like the Spanish j). It comes from the word "neKHama", which means "comfort". (not to confuse it with "nekama" which means "revenge")
The feminine name Noa, is pronounced as it's written, and means "motion".
Hebrew speakers don't confuse the two, since they're pronounced differently and have different meanings, the names of two different Bible characters. One unmistakably masculine and the other feminine. It's the translation of the Bible to European languages that mixed them up.
-- LilyFair  2/14/2007
I don't think a girl should ever be named Noah. It sounds way too masculine.
-- crashbrandicoot  2/19/2007
This is one of my favourite names. I've loved this name for about a year now and at the moment I think this is what I want to name my kid, when I grow up. I love this name, because it's simple, yet unique, short, yet strong and because it's one of the most beautiful names I've ever come across. I like it better for a girl, although I also consider it as a masculine name. When I picture someone with this name, I picture a strong, creative, loving, intelligent, independent and friendly person.
-- Alissa_Blue  4/10/2007
This is one of the most perfect gender-neutral names out there, in my opinion. It would suit a boy or girl very well. Whenever I think of Noah (m), I'm reminded of the Biblical character, but then later I picture a cute blonde guy. And when I hear Noah for a girl, I think of a platinum blonde nine-year-old with big brown eyes and a natural pout that is simply adorable. Overall, a great name!
-- Georgia_kh  4/12/2007
I met a girl named Noah and became friends with her, and now that I spend so much time with her and saying her name, I forget that it's usually thought of as a man's name. A lot of times I'm like, "Oh yeah, there are boys named Noah." It sounds pretty feminine, actually.

Noah Lindsey Cyrus is the name of Billy Ray Cyrus's daughter.
-- Anonymous User  12/5/2007
I love this name. It think it's quite funny that it has a differant meaning as a boys name than as a girls name. I plan to use this as a middle name for my first son because I like the boy's meaning better than the girls meaning, but I like it on a girl as well, it fits both genders. One of my best friends plans on naming her first child Noah, whether it's a boy or a girl, which I find quite funny. Beautiful name.

A girl named Noah is a character in the movie Tooth and Nail. She hardly talks in the movie. It makes sense why she is named that since she is often shown rollerblading in the movie; since Noah means 'movement'. I rally love this name for a girl.
-- Anonymous User  12/21/2008
Most people seem to get confused because it appears English translators have got it mixed up. Noah for the masculine should be close spelled to Noak (pronounced No-ack) and the feminine of the same name in Hebrew Noah (No-a 'long a').
-- lowcal historyan  2/23/2009
I like Noah for a girl. It sounds too feminine on a boy.
