Avoiding down-market spellings and masculine names. Thanks x

It's my daughter's name (she's in her twenties) and I love it ! There aren't very many of them so you wouldn't have to worry about there being lots in a class.

It does get pronounced in lots of different ways and shortened to lots of different versions but we've have never really minded about that.

I really like it, long history and a bit sparky, yet cool and collected

I'd avoid the cliche single syllable middle name, and probably also anything else biblical -

I like Naomi Beatrice suggested above

Or maybe

Naomi Ines
Naomi Carys
Naomi Edith
Naomi Elsbeth
Naomi Gwyneth
Naomi Adelaide
Naomi Genevievre
Naomi Isabel
Naomi Emmeline

I like Naomi as a name, perhaps in part because without exception every one I have known with that name has been a lovely person.

As for a middle name, a one syllable one sounds appropriate, perhaps one from an ancestor.

I don't like the way it seems to get said in several different ways.

My friend has a Naomi and this is the bane of her life

Naomi is a nice, underused classic.

How about

Naomi Jane
Naomi June
Naomi Jade
Naomi Kate
Naomi Clare
Naomi Olivia
Naomi Matilda
Naomi Nicole
Naomi Eliza
Naomi Louisa
Naomi Victoria
Naomi Serena
Naomi Florence
Naomi Violet
Naomi Eloise
Naomi Susannah
Naomi Abigail

Clara
Sarah
Maude
Catherine

I love Naomi!

It was the name of my cool friend at school and she's still cool now aged nearly 60!

Comedycook · 07/12/2024 17:49

It's nice enough....a bit 90s to me.

CookieMonster28 · 07/12/2024 17:48

It's a 'meh' name to me!
