noah
origin: Hebrew
meaning: Rest, Peace
Who doesn’t love the story of Noah and the ark? Tons of little animals, a cool boat and -- oh yeah -- the preservation of all the world’s creatures. These days, the name itself has become just about as beloved. It started to really jump in the ’90s, most notably from ’95 (number 100) to ’96 (number 60). The cause? Perhaps a certain Dr. John Carter, introduced on ER in 1994 and played by…Noah Wyle. The name’s continued to rise since then, shooting even further up the charts over the last decade. The meaning -- “to rest” or “to wander” -- seems appropriate for this soothing and slightly quirky-sounding name. For a classic biblical name, Noah definitely has a unique freshness and style.

by MikescupcakePlease don't use Noah for a girl, it's horrible and it will torture her her entire life! Noah is a very masculine name and beautiful on a boy. Naming your daughter Noah will just mean you're trying to be yoo-neek. :(
