Help[Facts] Which, that I'm a he?
in reply to a message by Pavlos
Because if I were a he, I'd probably be laughed at for having the equilavent of a boy named Emma/Emily/whatever the #1 name is for girls at the moment. That makes me wonder- have there been any recorded boys named Emma or Emily? I mean, that isn't actually so hard to imagine. Hmm. Does anybody know?

As far as I know Noa is unisex, but in the Netherlands Noa is more often used for girls and Noah for boys.
A few people in the Netherlands call there babyboy Emma or Emily, but I feel sorry for those boys...
If you follow this link you can see it:

Those male Emmas & Emilys probably aren't real
Many a time a parent or some other person has mistakenly checked "female" instead of "male" on the birth certificate, or visa versa. That, or a filing error or some other mistake. Such mistakes are rarer nowadays, because of computers, but they still occur.
English-speakers have "whoopsie"-ed this way too. Just check out the popularities for Jennifer, for example.

They probably mixed up the female name Noa & the male name Noach / Noah...
