Help[Opinions] Re: Noa
in reply to a message by Billina
I love Noa for a girl. I very much wanted to use it for Miriam due to it's meaning "motion " I didn't use it because everyone would have kept commenting that it was a boy's name.
I don't like Noah for a boy because it's so overused. It also comes across as cutesy to me.

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.

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.
