Naomi or Elodie

[Potter4321]

Which do you prefer?

Elodie I love
Naomi I hate due to pronunciation issues and "Nay" sounds like a horse

Love Elodie!

Both lovely, but Naomi. Elodie could’ve a bit of a rising trend, whereas Naomi is classic but unusual.

I like both but I Elodie is slightly nicer as it has a softer sound

Naomi for me.

Elodie looks pretty written down, but to me it only sounds nice in a French accent.

Elodie is likely to date as it's only had a sharp rise in popularity very recently. That being said, I do love it and think it's much nicer than Naomi.

It's never clear to me if Naomi is meant to be a two or a three syllable name. I really dislike it but love the name Elodie- not met one

I love Naomi - but you will definitely get different pronunciations.

Elodie is fine but it doesn't have the gravitas Naomi does.

Love love Elodie.

Also really like Naomi but not as much

Definitely Elodie for me!

Elodie

I'm a child of the 70's/80's and Naomi is akin to Louise, it was everywhere when I was growing up.

Elodie was one of my choices for my youngest (now 7) it's a beautiful name. I've not seen many around although reading other posts it seems it may now be popular.

Popular isn't a bad thing if you truly love the name though.

Elodie

Two ways of saying Naomi puts me off

Elodie, not a fan of Naomi.

Naomi

Elodie sounds like the letters L O D. Naomi is lovely.

I say Naomi (but then I am one so was always going to be biased!) My name gets pronounced many different ways and in fact we noticed last Christmas that my own family don't say my name the way I do but it honestly doesn't bother me in the slightest!)

Oh sorry neither.

Elodie - yes, L. O. D. ! Also just don't really like it much - it would blend in to all the faceless El-names and would be shortened to yet another of the 50 billion Ellies that are around.

Naomi - not great, more than one pronunciation, just a bit harsh and not much to it?

Not keen on either of them.
Elodie is rising in popularity but seems like yet another meh El- name.
Naomi gets said in several different ways -- Nay-uh-mi, Nigh-Oh-mi, etc which puts me off.

Of the two Naomi.

Naomi, definitely!

Definitely Naomi but I think that's because I knew an Elodie that annoyed me so I'm probably biased.

Elodie is beautiful.
I have one so am biased.
Naomi (Nay-oh-mi) for me is a mouthful, nair-me doesn't sound nice and Ny-oh-mi sounds harsh. Plus correcting people often would irritate me
