Noah is America's new favorite boys name, so some parents are likely scrambling to find an alternative. Fortunately, I have come up with some great choices, whether you like Noah's look, sound, or style.

Sight
Noaz- A mixture of Boaz and Noah for the more adventurous parent.
Noe- This one could get confusing when disciplining your child, but there are downsides to every name.
Noel- Stick with the NOHL pronunciation for a son.

Sound
Koa- A beachy Hawaiian rarity.
Noam- A lovely name, despite the gnome associations.
Nohea- Another Hawaiian sound-alike to Noah.

Style
Abel- Biblical and short, just like Noah.
Graham- Noah and Graham could easily be brothers.
Judah- An ends in -ah name that has remained relatively undiscovered.
