Hello everyone,
So my daughter is called Naomi and I am due our second child (a boy) next week. We were completely set on Isaac.
However someone pointed out that Naomi is ‘I moan’ spelt backwards and Isaac sounds like ‘I suck’ and so together it would be like I moan and I suck which isn’t great.
AIBU to burden my children with this or do you think it will go unnoticed?
Thanks in advance. X

The S is usually a z sound. The aa is a short a. So usually I zac.

Both negative suggestions are totally idiotic.

I have known Naomis and Isaacs throughout my childhood and now young friends of Dc. Never heard anyone make any negative comments, or be so stupid.

Lovely names.

why would someone say that to you? What a horrible thing to say. I think they are both lovely, classic names.

Never heard these before and both names are lovely :)

They are Biblical names. Both originate in the Hebrew language. Widely used names in Christian societies.
