man its been like 5 years and i still get such euphoria seeing people write my name out :) like hey i picked that!! it looks nice to see and i can hear it in your voice in my head when i read it and that feels like understanding and connection!

extra nice is the different ways people say it and write it! it's a pretty even split between people pronouncing it NO-ay vs no-AY and sometimes individual people will say it differently depending on where it is in the sentence or what part of the sentence is being emphasized!

and for writing too, it gets a bit of someone's personal style which feels like a fun combination of two people's personalities; mine for choosing the name, and the person who's writing it with the way that they write names! i typically always write entirely lowercase so i write it noé, but depending on whether people capitalize it or use the accent, it becomes Noé or Noe or noe. it also really means a lot to me when i see people use the é cause it's just not an easy thing to type?? like when im on my windows laptop i just go into whatever social profile is closest and copy paste the é cause i dont have a numpad and the international keyboard layout confuses me. i think in the last year especially its meant a lot more to me to see cause ive met a lot more francophone people in montréal who mishear/misunderstand my name to be Noah, cause Noe is a lot more common than Noé, and Noe is like the french version of Noah. which in itself has a whole lotta gender implications. apparently it's the case that "Noe" with w/e accent variations is mostly gendered masculine for basically everywhere all around the world, except for switzerland where "Noé" is entirely femininely gendered. which checks out cause coincidentally the person i got the name from was born in switzerland and now i understand why she didn't like her name lmao. but for me being genderfluid and living in a very francophone part of montréal that kinda masculine feminine ambiguity feels kinda good!! cause Noé is definitely distinct from the name Noe in both how it's spelled and pronounced, but Noé with the é is just a lot less common

anyways i think it's a nice name that feels really good for me and im glad i legally changed my name a second time to have it as my first name and i love seeing people use it in the ways that they do :eggbug-smile-hearts:
