Our first son is Noah. I don't know if I want to go biblical again. If I have a boy these are the names but no middle name. So if you have a suggestion for a middle name please leave that on here also. My name is Michelle and husband is Kenny

Any help?

Gabriel is a biblical name and is the best match to Noah. I like Gabriel Michael after mom.

Best of luck,

Before we decided on Jonah if our baby is a boy, our other pick was Gabriel James. I think Gabriel goes really well with Noah. But I also like Merrick.

Go with Gabriel...Noah has a soft ending as does Gabriel...Merrick sounds a bit "rough" next to Noah.

I also think Micah would be nice next to Noah (and would honor your first name!)

good luck!

I think Gabriel would go beautifully with Noah.

Mn ideas include Chase, Caden, Alexander, and Jesse.

Good luck!

Going against the flow, as usual. Don't get me wrong, I love biblical names. But for someone who is not sure she wants to "go biblical" again I think Noah & Gabriel is about as biblical as it gets! LOL

To me, Noah is strong and "grows up" well. Gabriel is a little too soft for it. Admittedly, Gabriel is probably my least fave boy name from the Bible. You could probably convince me of Noah and Gabe, though, if he was ALWAYS called Gabe. Those are darling sib names that do "grow up" well.

Also, I admit that I LOVE the name Merrick. So, that is definitely persuading me!! I had this name on my list. I've never met one, but it do think it's a great name.

I suppose you've already exhausted other bib. names that would be a nice match to Noah. I love Jonah or Micah, but they're are a little too similar for my taste. Perhaps Jeremiah(nn Remy?) or Nathaniel(Nate/Nathan)? Joel or Luke? Josiah or Seth? I think Luke and Noah is perfect!

At any rate, here are combos for you- Merrick Kenton, Kendall Merrick, Gabriel Kendrick, Gabriel Michael, Gabriel Micah, Gabriel Mitchell, Gabriel Kenneth

I LOVE Luke Kenton or Luke Michael. And to me, Luke & Noah is a more subtle bib. reference...

What about Merrick with a biblical mn that has a great meaning? Merrick Joshua- God is my salvation, Merrick Timothy- honoring God, Merrick Zachary- in remembrance of God, Merrick Adam- of all mankind, Merrick James, Merrick Joel, Merrick Ethan- constant & strong -If you really are already decided on Gabriel or Merrick, then I vote MERRICK hands down!!

With Gabriel definitely a family mn, as I'm all about family mn. Hope this helps! Please let us know what you decide and take care, Ginger
