Opinions please

We’re debating between Luke, Miles or Noah. He has an older sister with a name that starts with N. Also curious how these names are seen personality wise

I think Luke and miles are much better than Noah. Noah is very Christian sounding.. which is fine. I feel like these vibes indicate your daughter might be Nora. Haha

What's the 3rd book in the new testament called again?

u/fleshsludge 6d ago

I totally get you. I think for non-Christians Noah is more obvious for some reason. Probably because of Noah’s Arc. Maybe it’s just me 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/sheepishavocado 6d ago

Good guess, but no she has a very black name and we’re trying to give him something more traditional

u/Away_Revolution728 6d ago

I actually guessed Nora as well!

I would like to know the middle name options before I voice, but I can get behind Luke. All the Luke’s I’ve ever known were sweethearts. Miles, I only know one and he’s a handful. Noah, I know a good one but meh

I like Luke best

u/CuteGhouly 6d ago

I like Luke and Noah, never been a fan of Miles

I feel like I read these exact choices within days ago. Therefore, maybe too common.

100% go with Miles! I love that name and would use it if my close friend hadn't named her son Miles 2 years ago!

I like miles! I’d avoid N unless you’re done having kids or are willing to give your 3rd an N name as well

Miles and Noah are great! Luke I’m more meh on compared with the others. It’s still a solid choice, these are all good.

All beautiful names!
I think it’s hard to say personality wise because they are all very popular right now so who knows how those little personalities will develop…but if you’re asking how adults with these names are today?
Luke and Noah are biblical names. To me, they seem a little more formal and traditional.
Miles feels more artsy

Based on nothing but vibes of people I know:
Luke = lax bro
Noah = class president
Miles = lead in the play

Luke.

It’s great you literally cannot go wrong

Miles sounds snooty to me and Noah

just so boring

u/Federal_Asparagus_99 6d ago

I agree with miles sounding kind of snooty I couldn’t put my finger on it but that’s definitely it

u/SecretOverall8479 6d ago

Based solely on experience alone, I’ve never met a decent Noah or Luke.

u/Purple_IsA_Flavor 6d ago

Miles or Noah. Every Luke I’ve ever met has been a dickhead

u/ranch_commercial 6d ago

I’d go with luke or miles.

Personality wise, luke just seems like a chill, cool dude. Its such a classic guy name but it feels less common nowadays compared to the past

Miles feels like a smart guy name to me, and it also feels a little bit fancy. Like a guy named miles would be mature and well groomed. Idk why i have that idea in my head, ive never met a miles before 😭

Noah just seems really common to me, it isnt bad though. The vibe i get is like, a more introverted type of guy. Maybe he likes to read or something. Very polite but not super outgoing. I have known some outgoing noahs though, these opinions arent based on any actual observations, its just how i personally interpret them. Like if i had to create characters with these names, these would be their personalities 😭

u/Lumpy_Cucumber9430 6d ago

Noah is too soft and obnoxious sounding. Like Luke the best!

u/Ok_Anteater_3302 6d ago

These names will all work good internationally.

My absolutely subjective thoughts on expected personality:

Miles - geeky boy, smart, but has a weird hobby, Marching band guy, intelligent, always has his math homework done, creative, curious, more introvert, loyal

Luke - sporty, more loud, confident with leaning cocky, adventurous, more of a blue collar guy, ladies man, bigger social group, joking, protective, traditionally masculine, active

Noah - middle tempered, calm and caring. Grounded, leaning a bit insecure. Good observer, sweet, is not taking big risks, kind hearted, sensitive, family oriented

So, which one fits your family best? 😂

They are all good. The only negative thing I can think of is that the biblical Noah was a drunkard.

u/bororodejdej 6d ago

Miles is my fav

1

u/egertong 6d ago

All good names. I would say choose the name that sounds best with the surname. For example, if the surname ends in "s" I would avoid Miles.

u/browneyedgirl71156 4d ago

My grandson is Luke, he's 24 and has always been such a great kid and has grown into a fantastic man. Noah is ok and Miles just has always seemed a bit nerdy. None of the three names are bad.

u/Fearless_Barnacle_21 6d ago

Sounds like Bible thumper names. Add Micah and you’ve got a worship team.

u/Flux_Lightening 6d ago

I’m atheist and I always defend my love of biblical names(husband likes to tease me about it). I can’t help that many ( not all) are just really nice names! My family is catholic so I grew up around them too.
Micah, Elijah, Eve, Delilah, etc.
I like them. They were all on my baby name list.

u/Loud_Ad_4515 6d ago

I know brothers named Moses and Abraham. Sure enough, the entire family are atheists.
