Naomi?

[RetroRita]

Do you like Naomi?

Do you know any? Do the parents get good reactions to the name?

[gaggiagirl]

Its my name so I love it lots! Its a biblical name so fairly timeless and there aren't many of us about also is a Japanese girls name which in my book makes it super cool.
Just don't pronounce it NIOMI that makes me mega stabby.

[lollydollydrop]

Yep, I like it, and dont know any. Adults nor children.

[exoticfruits]

Lovely.

[chickabilla]

Lovely. It was on my list but sadly not DH's.

[RaRaZ]

I like it :-) I've known two: one was a really sweet sixteen-year-old I used to work with a few years ago; lovely, genuine, grounded girl. The other was a student I knew when I lived in a different city: very friendly and very pretty. I think it's a lovely name and quite different too.

[zingally]

It's a nice name, and not too common. She'd probably be the only one in her class anyway.

[wildstrawberryplace]

I love this name and would use it myself but the mispronunciation thing is gives me reservations.

I've heard it pronounced:

NAY-uh-mee
Nay-OH-mee
(I'll ignore the Nye-OH-mee wrong'uns!).

And bizarrely I seem to say it as Neh-YO-mee (very ellided sound between neh-YO bit).

I know a Japanese Naomi (different etymology/meaning obv.) and she pronounces it Now-mee.

[HoneyandRum]

Love it.

[Ham69]

I know 2 adult Naomi's, a 2 year old and the cutest 3 month old baby. I like it.

[Cherryoats]

My friend is an adult naomi, her and her name are both lovely!

[Tickledyellow]

I also know a six year old Naomi who is gorgeous. One of my friends growing up was a Naomi too. So only two people. I think it's lovely and also pretty unusal yet still known...

[FobblyWoof]

The first and only Naomi I know of is a total cow bag so I couldn't pick it because I'd always think of her, but it is a lovely name. Not too common, not too out there, sweet when they're little, strong when they're older- all the qualities I like in a name.

[MacCrackles]

A lovely name. I would pronounce it Nay oh me but there is a girl in my Dd's class pronounced with the emphasis on the OH.

[onedev]

I love the name & the 4 year old I know is lovely.

[Lattetogo]

I love the song White by Naomi.

[Yika]

Lovely. I know one aged 15 but it's rather unusual, without being wacky.

[Jojay]

Lovely

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Love it - biased though!

[HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey]

Oh and yes it is i moan backwards, this is very appropriate for dd1 though so i love it!!

[HokeyCokeyPigInAPokey]

I have a Naomi, she is 10!

I chose it and had to convince dh, it is such a lovely name.

It is not too popular but not unusual and apart from the odd person calling her Niomi which makes me stabby most people know how to pronounce it!

Over the years we have only met one or two, apart from one day in Hampton Court when there were three of them in the same room.

I don't think you could pick a better name!

[bootsycollins]

I love Naomi

[GampyWabbit]

I love the name Naomi.

Really, really wish we'd used it for dd1. In the and dd2 couldn't be Naomi either, as it is too similar to dd1's.

It is gorgeous & would get a great reaction.

[Jinty16]

Lovely name. I don't know any.

[ScentedCandlestickMaker]

I like it!
