    The surname "Noone" is pronounced the same as the word "Noon". To avoid ambiguity, in Ireland we usually write "no-one" or "nobody" to convey that meaning. :)

    Very rare to see the word "noone" written to mean "nobody" in Ireland.

    You've lost me. The Surname is Noone, not no one. How do you even perceive Noone pronounced as no one?

    Can't wait until you come across Sexton as a surname!

    Mind you, I remember watching Mork and Mindy when I was a kid. Mindy's landlord was Mr W@nker ...used to get a few giggles whenever he appeared.

    Never came across surname in my life - and I haven't been under a rock!

    Often come across 'noone' used on the web, even my phone's predictive text is suggesting it here!

    A member of N'Sync was called Joey Fatone.

    Instead of no-one he's fat-one. Things can always be worse

    Web? Predictive text?? My good man, on a scale from Peppa Pig to Marcel Proust, you have selected by way of example the paranoid schizophrenic scrawling on his cell-wall with his finger dipped in excrement. :D

    This just gets worse - I'm embarrassed as it is, and then my embarrassed emoji disappears (had used desktop mode on mobile browser to insert it!)...

    Christ, I gotta look for that rock now and crawl under it. FWIW, I asked a friend about the surname Noone and they'd never ever come across it either! Umm... But they didn't pronounce it as no-one like myself!! Cringe...

    Please let this thread end... :}

    There are 250 or so Noone's in the phonebook and every last one of them probably fine people.

    I work with a lad whose surname is Noone, and I used to deal with an engineering company called Noone Engineering (because of their surname, and not the lack of people ;) ). I'm in Kildare but I looked it up, and saw that Noone is a traditionally Sligo name, the gaelicised version of Ó Nuadháin.
