Femi

[familyfortunes]

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.

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!

Femidom is what I get, sorry

Naomi and Phoebe are lovely though

Feminax.

Femi-dom...

Makes me think of tampons.

feh-me

Sorry but it sounds like a feminine product.

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

Lol...definitely a no for me now!! Haha!
Just needed some sane thoughts to help me through my hormonal haze

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

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

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

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

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

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;-)

I think Phoebe and Naomi are much better?

Don't know where the ? came from

Um, ginger, I'm not sure people were suggesting Femidom as an alternative name for the baby...more pointing out that Femi makes them think of the commonly used term for a female condom!

I didn't make that connection myself, but like PPs, the only Femi I've met has also been an African male.

Phoebe and Naomi are both lovely though, but not overused in my experience.

Arf at baby Femidom!

Sounds like sanpro.

I love Femi - very pretty. Naomi and Phoebe are also great names.

I know a Nigerian lady called Femi.I quite like it!

Have met 2 male and 1 female femi so it can be either.

I've taught a few Femis, both boys and girls, all Nigerian heritage.

Femi Kuti is the only one I've ever heard of and he was a man.
