ANSWER:

One must be proud of his Islam and give Islamic or Arabic names. It is inappropriate to give such altered names just to blend in with the disbelievers. 

QUESTION: We are expecting a baby boy in couple of months In Sha Allah. I really want to name my son as ‘NOAH’. As we are from non Arabic part of the world we often ten to mis pronounce ‘NUH’ as it is not a common name. My question is can we name him ‘NOAH’ and pronounce it as it is pronounced in bible ? Is this permissable?
