Biblical name but not religious?

So we’ve found out we’re having a boy and the only name we can both agree on is Noah, however neither of us are religious - I love the name but am worried that people may get offended because we aren’t religious or assume we chose it for religious reasons - am I overthinking it?

Definitely overthinking lovely, Noah is a lovely name. Don’t worry what others think, if that’s the name for your baby, that’s his name❤️

Noah is a beautiful name and I would associate it with the movie “the notebook” before I thought of it being religious.

Definitely overthinking! I wouldn’t worry about it, when you dig into it a lot of names have “meaning” or come from places that you may not have ties to, it totally doesn’t mean you can’t use them! Noah is lovely, if thats the name you love then go for it! Z

I know a boy named Noah Enoch. His mother is religious because religion saved her life but they are gorgeous names still.

I doubt people would equate the 2. That is not something i would ever put together and then judge .... it’s like maybe if you were outspoken atheists and named him Jesus.... lol. But otherwise it’s a beautiful name ❤️

For sure overthinking! It’s a great name!!

Do what you want.. who cares what they say or think. You don't have to be in religion to use any of the names in the Bible. I'm the opposite of you I'm into the Bible, but none of the names stick out to me to name my kiddos

No one cares about it being a religious name
Name your baby what you wish
