what are your thoughts...looking for 2 dd names.

We have been liking Naomi and Phoebe.

Femi is Egyptian for love. DH really likes it and would swap for Phoebe...I'm not totally sure.

Don't know where the ? came from Grin

Allalonenow · 20/07/2014 13:08

I think Phoebe and Naomi are much better?

Gingerjv · 20/07/2014 12:59

I really like Femidom and Naomi! Phoebe makes me think of Phoebe character in the series "Friends". she was veeeery strange;-)) so i do not like this name much;-)

BlackberryandNettle · 20/07/2014 12:12

I also know a man called Femi. I like Naomi best of the three

If you like the sound of Remi or Phoebe how about Fadilah?

CointreauVersial · 19/07/2014 23:20

I also thought it was an African male name - the Femi I know is.

Sleepyfergus · 19/07/2014 23:17

Yep, there is a Femi at our work who is aNigerian man. Perhaps a rethink?!

I've only ever come across it as a shortening of the boys name Olumfemi.

I know a couple of people called Femi. They are both Nigerian men, so afraid I wouldn't go for it instead of Phoebe.

Sorry but it sounds like a feminine product.

Femi-dom...

isthisanacidtest · 19/07/2014 23:11

Feminax.

Beehatch · 19/07/2014 23:11

Femidom is what I get, sorry

Naomi and Phoebe are lovely though

I'm not sure. How would you pronounce it?

It made me think of femur and the femeral artery. That might not be totally normal, though!
