Demi as in Demi Moore. :-)

And I like Noah.

It's ok, but too strong of an association with the actress for me personally.

I prefer Remi.

Oh, and I find Noah too popular and trendy.

I do like the girls name Noa though.

I love the name Remi!

Noah is in my belly :)
I love it!

I pronounce it DEH-mee usually. But I know that your pronouce Demi Moore's name Deh-MEE. So, either, I guess. lol

I can only think of Demi Moore. I guess the pronunciation could go either way. I'm not a fan of the name.

Deh-MEE, with the emphasis on the last. I'm not a fan of the name - it doesn't seem to have much personality.

Noah is adorable. My first serious crush was named Noah, and I'd love to use it for a future child.

I don't really like Demi. It makes me think of demi-god and Demi Moore. On the pronunciation, I tend to keep the syllables simillarly stressed.

I think Noah is cute.

Demi Moore. Dim-E.

I don't like Noah. It's entirely too bibilical for my liking(can't help but thing of an arc and animals, yaknow?) and it's been super trendy lately.

My husband's cousin is Demi. It's DEH-mee. I never liked it too much but it's grown on me. Possibly because she's pretty much the cutest thing EVER (15, gorgeous, cheerleader...love her! lol)

I actually prefer it pronounced more like "Deux-MEE", Deux as in how the french pronounce the letter e, or say the number 2. And I like it, and I was actually thinking about as a name choice not that long ago.

Noah I don't like because of the "no" in front of it, when I think of a child named Noah as he grows up and having to say "No Noah, you can't have that", it bothers me. Plus, I think of Noah's Ark. I also think it's gaining in popularity, and I'm not keen on popular names.

I pronounce Demi as in Demi Moore.

I don't like Noah. Mainly because it's crazy popular here and I'd never be able to use it as I have a boy in my class called Noah who is a complete nutter so he's tainted the name for me now :)

I prefer De-Mee but I'd usually pronounce it Demm-ee.

I like Noah but its a little too popular for my liking.

I like it pronounced Deh-MEE.

Noah's a cute name.

Demi makes me think of Demi Moore, of goddess Demetra that she was named after and of the french word for "half".

I've always pronounced it DEH-mee, and was quite disgusted upon learning that she pronounces it Deh-MEE.

I like Noah! I think Noah Wyle's popularity helped in my liking it!

I think that it's actually pronounced like Deh-MEE, but I always pronounce it DEH-mee. Like, Demi-god. I like Noah. It's on my list. It's a little plain, but it's always classic. Noa for girls is really nice too.

I knew a little girl called Demi once...she was very sweet, but she has grown up to be...pretty spoiled =\. Anyway...She pronounced it DEH-mee.

ive never seen demi as a name, even with demi moore. i dont like it, and dont like the connection with the actress.

i love noah, its high on our list!

de'mi. as in demi moore. i'm neutral on it. noah is a nice name.
