Please help.....Noa, Arielle or Abigail (Abby)

We have narrowed our favorite names to [name_f]Noa[/name_f], [name_f]Arielle[/name_f] and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] ([name_u]Abby[/name_u]) for our little girl.

Please help us decide…

Thanks :slight_smile:

Three very different tacks! I personally prefer the pretty-but-spunky [name_f]Arielle[/name_f]. It’s feminine but not ambitiously ornate, and it’s not super popular (No. 352 in the U.S. last year). Plus great nickname potential with [name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Ria[/name_f]… The only downside is that you may have pronunciation problems, which you likely won’t have with [name_f]Noa[/name_f] or [name_u]Abby[/name_u].

Another vote for [name_f]Arielle[/name_f]!

+1 for [name_f]Arielle[/name_f]

All are nice choices–each has a very different feel for me, though

[name_f]Noa[/name_f] --unisex (I know [name_f]Noa[/name_f] is a girls name, but since it sounds like [name_u]Noah[/name_u]), modern, spunky, international feel. Probably the one I would personally go with out of your top three (but it’s a hard choice!). Only downside: confusion with [name_u]Noah[/name_u] (but that’s not too big of a downside, imo, since it’s so easy to spell out with just three letters).

[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] --great nickname options ([name_u]Ari[/name_u], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], etc.), very pretty, feminine–even princessy feel (I’m thinking of the [name_m]Little[/name_m] Mermaid). Only downside: could be [name_f]AIR[/name_f]-ielle or ARE-ielle; so whichever one you’d prefer, you’d have to count on mispronunciations sometimes. This would be a close second for me, personally.

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] – most common, I think, of the three, but with good reason: pretty, historical name that’s popular without being trendy. Great nickname in [name_u]Abby[/name_u] and a nice longform to grow into also. Only downside: depending on where you live, you’ll probably meet other [name_u]Abby[/name_u]/Abigails her age/in her class/etc., though that might not bother you (or her!) at all.

Are you leaning towards one more than the others? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have a middle name picked out or do you think you might want two of these in a combination? [name_f]Noa[/name_f] [name_f]Arielle[/name_f], for example, is just lovely to me :slight_smile:

I far prefer [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]!

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]…

My fave is [name_f]Noa[/name_f].

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] gets my vote - [name_f]Arielle[/name_f] is not really my style and [name_f]Noa[/name_f] is okay but I think is likely to be confused with [name_u]Noah[/name_u] (especially considering it’s so popular on the boy’s side right now).

[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] is lovely, [name_f]Noa[/name_f] is also nice. I’m not a fan of [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].

[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] is superb! I’ve only known one [name_f]Arielle[/name_f] who was years older than I and she was very elegant and eclectic.

I vote for [name_f]Arielle[/name_f]!

Anything but [name_f]Noa[/name_f]

[name_f]Noa[/name_f]!
I’m so deeply in love with it. I try to dislike it and think on another name for my baby, but I just can’t. I feel she is such a [name_f]Noa[/name_f]…
It’s beautiful!
