When I got into school late today there were two other girls who were also late one of there names caught my eye, and I immidiatly thought "OMG I have to post to the baby names group!" This girl's name is...

Noah

WDYT?

I hate the boys-names-used-as-girls-names trend, with the exception of Adrienne. But this one is the latest I 've heard and I hate it.

i've seen it spelled noa on a girl, which i DESPISE even more than noah on a girl. i'll admit, though, both make me a little queasy. i have a boy noah and i just think it's such a masculine name.

but noa is actually a hebrew girl's name. :)
i think the spelling 'noah' is reserved for boys.
it's a cool name, and i actually prefer it on girls, hehe.

oh i KNOW it's a feminine name, which is why i pointed out that spelling -- it still just makes me shudder because of the association with my son and the fact that, well, he's a boy. just like the name shannon. it's used on girls and guys but one of my good guy friends is a shannon so i always cringe at the thought of girl shannons, which is the opposite of what most people do! lol.

Shannon is my mom's name ;)

i had an employee named shannon (female) and i felt so bad. half the time i'd talk about her, i'd end up saying "he." lmao, SO embarrassing. fwiw, my name is aubrey and a lot of older people (like 60+) are like "ISN'T THAT A GUYS NAME?!"

I always liked Shannon better as a boy's name and I've never met a boy with that name...only girls!

i've noticed that it seems most common among like 25-30 year olds as a male name but even then, it's so rare! i've also got a family member (some sort of cousin, maybe?) who is a male shannon but i think he's a bit older.
