Baby girl name Naomi - thoughts?

Possibly spelt 'Naiomi' (prefer the 'nigh' over 'nay' Pronunciation)

She is dark haired and is likely to have a dark eye colour and tan skin.

Thoughts? SmileFlowers

Spelt Naomi yes, spelt Naiomi no

helpneededormaybegin · 15/04/2017 10:25

Either is gorgeous.

motherinferior · 15/04/2017 10:26

Naomis rock. Great name.

Orangedaisy · 15/04/2017 10:29

What harder said. Love Naomi.

MyBeloved · 15/04/2017 10:31

Naomi is a great name!

Imaginingdragonsagain · 15/04/2017 10:37

Pretty name. I would spell it Naomi though and just correct pronunciation if necessary!

Gallavich · 15/04/2017 10:40

Don't spell it wrongly but it's a nice name

AliciaMayEmory · 15/04/2017 10:40

Love Naomi. Naiomi looks a bit strange written down, though. People will pick up on your preferred pronunciation just as they do with Evelyn, Sophia, Claudia etc.

HopeAndJoy16 · 15/04/2017 10:41

I love Naomi too! Where I am people tend to pronounce it Ny-omi anyway. I guess it depends if correcting people often will get on your nerves!

NannyR · 15/04/2017 10:42

Lovely name, but spelt Naomi without the extra I.

MollyHuaCha · 15/04/2017 10:46

Pretty name. Def spell Naomi.

Fauchelevent · 15/04/2017 10:46

Naomi without the i.

Noemi is also nice. All the Naomis and Noemis I have met have been dark haired with dark eyes and more tanned skin

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 15/04/2017 10:52

Naomi. Lovely OP. 😀

PuppyMonkey · 15/04/2017 10:54

Oh lord I hate the Ny-omi pronunciation. Sounds so wrong to me.

ImSexyAndIKnowIt · 15/04/2017 10:59

I know a Noami (No- Amy)
I've said it wrong quite a lot of times Blush

PuppyMonkey · 15/04/2017 11:08

No-Amy sounds like a misunderstanding Grin

Jooni · 15/04/2017 11:09

Naomi is lovely. Naiomi looks odd and IMO makes your preferred pronunciation no clearer.

ElizaDontlittle · 15/04/2017 11:11

Lovely - but I would spell it "properly". I know a couple of very fair Naomis - I don't think it matters regarding 'suiting' the name.

smilingsarahb · 15/04/2017 11:15

If I saw Naiomi I'd think your been trying to show you wanted it pronounced nay omi as Ai in phonics is the long a sound. I'd stick to the traditional spelling if you prefer nigh - omi

DoItTooJulia · 15/04/2017 11:17

I like Naomi-but it was spoiled when my friend who is called Naomi said she didn't like because it spells I Moan backwards and that's what her sister used to call her.....

BeBeatrix · 15/04/2017 11:22

Beautiful name, but definitely use the standard spelling.

mum2be2boys · 15/04/2017 11:43

Lovely name, but prefer the traditional spelling.

iloveabagido · 15/04/2017 12:03

Beautiful name. Thank you op, am putting it on my potential girls name list! (Not pg yet, but still)

I would spell it Naomi though, Noémie is also lovely

YouWhatMate · 15/04/2017 12:22

I love Naomi. We plan on using it as a first or middle name if we have a DD.

harderandharder2breathe · 15/04/2017 14:16

I know a noami too, apparently it's the Italian version
