I know a Toma, she's Latvian and I quite like it.

I also know a Nigerian Tomi

She'll spend her life correcting the spelling- if you need to call her Tomi, you need to spell it the usual way.

I assumed it was pronounced Towmi not like Tommy …. so to rhyme with Toni as mentioned upthread

I know a girl called Tobi and another called Jamie . What about Toni ( Antonia ) .

No. I have an uncle Tommy and a cousin Tommy. It's absolutely a man's name.

I know a lady named Tomi. She's Nigerian and it's short for Tomiwa (I think that's how you spell it).
She's a lovely person, so for me it has positive associations! And it's cute, I think.
