Love Naomi but it's not quiiite right and we have no Jewish connection.

•I like that aomi sound. Also like Elodie.
•Into names that begin with N (not Nina)
•Into 3 syllable names

Nadia?

Though you could definitely use Naomi without having a Jewish connection. It’s also a well used a Christian name as well as Jewish as it’s an OT name (mother of Ruth) but besides that it’s just a nice name that people don’t necessarily associate with a particular religion.

Iona

Fwiw I don't think Naomi sounds odd without a Jewish connection.

My neice is called Naomi she's just turned 1, her parents have no Jewish connection at all, they just loved the name. Infact I didn't even know it had a Jewish connection, its a beautiful name. Elodie is also beautiful xX

I don't think you need to be Jewish to use
Naomi.

How are you pronouncing it? Nay-oh-me or Nye-oh-me?

I think Leonie is a nice alternative that is quite similar.

Natalia is a pretty name beginning with N. Or Nadine.

ItsLoisSangersFault · 12/12/2020 14:05

Doesnt start with an N but Ramona?

Agree you dont need a Jewish connection

GlitterBiatch · 12/12/2020 14:07

I like Natalia, Nicole, Noelle and Nora

OublietteBravo · 12/12/2020 14:10

I went to school with a girl called Nonie. I quite like it as a name - although I’ve never come across anyone else called that.

Otherwise perhaps Hermione?

RightOnTheEdge · 12/12/2020 14:12

I didn't know Naomi had religious connections. I know a couple with a dd called Naomi and the husband is Muslim.
They live in Iraq now.

CherryBlossomTree7 · 12/12/2020 14:12

My first thought was Phoebe, but obviously doesn't begin with an N.

What about Natalia too?

mum2jakie · 12/12/2020 14:14

Eloise?

LittleRa · 12/12/2020 14:14

Paloma

Ejb86 · 12/12/2020 14:15

An alternative would be Noemi. Not sure of its origins, but was the name of my German exchange student when I was young, but the family were Spanish. I adore the name now that I'm having my own children, but I wouldn't get it past hubby!

Natasha
Amelie
Melody
Melissa
Delilah

HarryLimeFoxtrot · 12/12/2020 14:18

Melody?

Or my favourite ‘n’ name is Nuria - which also fits with your preference for 3 syllables.

RosyPickle · 12/12/2020 14:22

Noelle, Norah, Nimona, Nova, Neve/Niamh, Nuala (pronounced Nula), Nell, Nia, Nisha, Nerys, Nadia, Nigella?

florascotia2 · 12/12/2020 14:41

Nemone (Nem-oh-neh)
