I like it.

Yes, but it's one of those names, that people tend to spell and pronounce wrongly.

I do like it.

I only recently discovered it was biblical. I am not familiar with the bible. It doesn't sound that old iyswim.

It's very pretty though IMO.

I think it is really pretty but the ones I know always get called 'Nay' which doesn't sound so good.

I'm a Naomi (so a tad biased!) I'd say it's a good name 😉

I've only known one and in high school was told 'your name is I Moan backwards... etc' every single day. That would put me off...

Love it and it's my top pick for a future DD.

Yes, I really like it.

There seem to be several slightly different ways to pronounce it though which would put me off. I say "nay-OH-mee", but I've heard "NAY-uh-mee" and "NYE-oh-mee" too.

I love Noemí (Spanish) and Noémie (French) as well. It's a beautiful name and never overused.

My oh decided he loves this name and I really want to love it too but I cannot decide if it's pronounced Nay-omi or Ny-omi

Such a pretty name. One of a few which I still get little pangs of regret for not using, despite it being in my top 5. Lovely!

Yes.
Was high on my list for DD as my DSs have biblical names.
But DH doesn't like any girls names it.
