[Opinions] Re: Noa?
in reply to a message by MoonAgeDaydreamer
Oh, no! Noah is too soft for boys?! I knew I should have gone with my #2 choice: Gunner Erecto.

Anyway, I have a Noah, a boy, so that's obviously my preference, but I honestly don't care much one way or another about Noa(h) on a girl. I do like the Noah spelling much more than Noa. Noa looks incomplete and reminds me of the Loa--spirit intermediaries in Voodoo.
IMO, the biggest drawback for Noa-on-a-girl in the US is the popularity of Noah for boys. When I try to imagine having a name that's a homophone for a name in the boys' top 5, "It's popular for girls in Israel/Belgium/Spain/wherever!" doesn't seem like much of a consolation.

I agree, it would be tough for a female Noa.
