Naomi?

What's people's thoughts on the name Naomi? X

Beautiful name. Are you ok with Nay or Mimi, as they are the most likely things it will be shortened to.

I love it. It's beautiful and timeless imo. Suits a baby and a growth woman.

Gorgeous name.

I like it, you don't hear of many younger ones although I was sitting behind one on a flight recently (she must have been about 4) and her mum kept calling her nomey which was a bit irritating.

I love it. Beware of the multiple ways people will pronounce it, though.

Nay....what the heck.......really!!!!

I knew the English were bad but I wouldnt even have thought off that one.

It's lovely, I really liked it but it's DH's ex girlfriend and he thought it would be odd.

I know one and it isn't shortened, I wouldn't shorten it either.

I really like it. It's a well-known name with a long history but unusual for this generation. I also think it's very pretty.

I knew the English were bad but I wouldnt even have thought off that one.

It's literally the first syllable of the name. I don't personally like Nay, but still, it's an obvious shortening that people might fall back. We terrible English also shorten William to Will, Daniel to Dan and Louise to Lou. Shocking, I know.

Hate it with a passion. Probably my most detested name.

Also infuriating when people pronounce it 'nye-o-mee' not 'nay-o-mee'

One of my favourite names.
As another poster said, you may have to cope with the incorrect pronunciation of the name.

I like it but the idiots who pronounce it incorrectly would drive me mad. Also love Neroli.

It's I moan backwards. Lovely name but be prepared for people commenting on this every time she cries!

As a Naomi - mostly love my name don't know many others. Wasn't until I was older anyone picked up I moan is the backwards spelling. Be prepared for no one pronouncing it or spelling it correctly!
Means delightful 🙂

I love it, I know a little girl called Naomi she's about 3-4 years old and it's the sweetest name

Fab name. Beautiful

Not keen. dislike the way some say Nigh-Oh-me

I like it. I’ve never heard the nickname Mimi for it but I think that that is very cute too.

I think it's lovely :)

I really like it. My friend is a 'nay' but the 2 little ones I know are pronounced 'nye'. I prefer the nay myself.

Love it. Well known but unusual enough to be interesting. It was definitely on my list.

The story of Naomi and Ruth is one of my favorites in the Bible (I like to read it as empowering, not as patriarchal.) Ruth 1:16 is a gorgeous piece of writing.

I love this I think it’s made my list

I'm not keen on it. And the Nye pronunciation which so many people use drives me crazy.

One of my least favourite names... but that's because of association so I'm biased!

The shortened 'Nay' form particularly grates on me though.
