Naima

Hay

I'm expecting my first and extremely overjoyed to be expecting a DD.

I completely adore the John Coltrane song Naima which is what inspired this choice.

What do you think of this name and does it go ok with the middle name Marie? TIA

I know one who spells it Na’ima. I really like it.

It’s nice.

Looks pretty, and sounds nice when said correctly. But I would have seen this name and assumed it was pronounced "name-a".

Don't feel like you need to "think about Aimee".

Naima is beautiful. The reason/s you like it will give her a story to tell too. Go for it.

Love Naima. I’m surprised so many people don’t know how to pronounce it! It’s a popular Arabic name.

Lovely

I taught a girl called Naima and she was lovely. She's a Muslim girl so not sure it would go with a traditional British name? It's nice though.

The loveliest girl I ever taught was called Naima. It’s a beautiful name.

It’s a lovely name.
