    5. Right but girlz have been using the name for years. It’s a great girl’s name, if you ask me

    6. Noah is not a male name in Hebrew. The Hebrew name that gets turned into Noah in English is No-akh – ??. Noah in Hebrew is a female name – ????, it isn’t even a feminine form of the other name, it’s grammatically unrelated.

    7. Well – you learn something new every day. I was thinking of Noah as in Noah’s Ark ….
