Hi,
I'm currently pregnant with our third child, but we can't decide on a name. Which name do you think is nicer for a boy? Duuk or Noah?
Our other kids have short Dutch names..

    Noah absolutely! I personally don't think Duuk is that beautiful...
    I personally find Noa a nicer spelling, but keep in mind that it's usually seen as the female variant. I also like Noam.

    Duuk or Duuc/Duke
    Noah comes up so often, and duuk doesn’t.
    Well, it does look like kaduuk.
    Maybe,

    Jannik/Yannick
    Carter
    Noam

    Noah, but that one is quite popular.
    Your other kids have short Dutch names, so maybe Bas, Jop/Joppe, Tjerk, Tijn, Thijs, Wes(ley), Niek, Nick, Mick, Alex, Thije, Ivar, Jim, Cas/Kas, Sil, Enzo.

    I can't choose.
    I really think Duuk is a nicer name within the short-short-short trend. And Noah is just beautiful.

    Noah. Personally, I don't think Duuk is really attractive. But tastes differ ????

    Noah! Many times more beautiful than Duuk

    Thank you all for your replies! I also think Noah is really beautiful! We were just a bit worried that people would then ask if it's a boy or a girl, and we don't want him to be teased later because it can also be a girl's name. But this will all probably be okay?

    No, not at all if you just write Noah! We've already decided that if our baby is a boy, he'll be named Noah! But pronounced in Arabic.

    Noa(h) is absolutely unisex. I have to say though, when I hear the name, I first think of a girl. But that might be different for someone else, of course :-) But when I see it written as Noah, I think 100% of a boy.

    I immediately think of a boy when I hear the name Noah! I find Noah more likable than Duuk.
