First name: Noam Middle name:???

Any ideas for a middle name that's relatively easy to pronounce and goes well with Noam?

Chomsky.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Laughing

where's the little smiley with the tongue sticking out...

Does Noam Avraham sound like a mouthful? Too much of the same ending (if that makes sense)?

I think Avraham Noam sounds better so we might just go with that but a friend commented on the "am" ending and now I'm questioning it....

I kind of like the cadence of Noam Avraham.

If you like the name, why do you need another name to go with it, which in my opinion, just takes away from the name you like?

Why the middle name? Silly reason actually: I'm the only one of my siblings with no middle name and I always felt left out as child. Dumb, I know. And when I became frum, everyone I met had a proper first and middle name (even if they only went by the first). Anyhow, it always just seemed right to me to give 2 names, especially since all the pious men in my family had 2. In case you're wondering, we've used up most of those names...dh and I seem to only make boys. Smile

I have a Noam Rephael Eliahu. We added Noam to the name of someone who died young. As someone said to us at the time, it conveys "the pleasantness of ______" the person you are naming for. Just an idea.

Amother, I have 5 names and it's a big reason we gave our girls only one :lol. So it just goes to show some like a lot of names and some only a few.

I like Avraham Noam, or Noam Avraham. My friend's dh is Noam Yehuda and I think that's nice too Smile

As other posters mentioned, Elimelech

I also like Noam Eliezer for some reason.

Noam Yehuda sounds nice - thanks. I like Dovid but its my brother's name and I'd prefer not to use it.

Thanks for all your suggestions!

...should anyone need a girl's name recommended, I have lots of lovely ones, unused!

I was going to suggest Noam yehuda, I see someone beat me to it. It has a very nice ring to it. Smile

My nephew was just named Noam Shmuel. I love it!

I confess, after I heard Noam Elimelech- I wasn't able to think of anything else. That gets my vote.
