My daughter is called Naomi. We always get lots of compliments on her name and there aren't loads of other girls her age (4) with this name. I am not Jewish but am of Jewish heritage, but we chose her name because we liked it. It's a slightly unusual name in this day and age without being strange.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 12/12/2020 16:48

Natalie?
Natasha?

Pastilleanise · 12/12/2020 17:50

Nonia

Kittykatmacbill · 12/12/2020 18:14

I don’t think of it as a particular jewish name, just an Old Testament one! If you like it use it. Names like it I’d say Miriam, Ruth, Rachel etc.

SugarCanes · 12/12/2020 20:08

Natalie ?

Prettysparkles · 14/12/2020 22:30

My name is Naomi, and I have absolutely no Jewish connection

Poppyolive90 · 14/12/2020 22:37

I don’t think anyone has suggested Nicola. A lovely name that everyone knows but won’t be multiples in the classroom. Apparently only 34 baby girls names Nicola last year vs 305 Naomi’s.

YoniAndGuy · 14/12/2020 22:52

Leonie

Chloe

Leonora

Sabrina

-are names that I would kind of put in the same 'camp' as Naomi. I like all of them more than I like Naomi - the two pronunciation options put me off Naomi.

Love Sabrina!

Bobbybobbins · 14/12/2020 22:55

Ioni if it's the sound that gets you

MotherOfDragonite · 16/12/2020 12:48

You could use the more Continental version, Noemie or Noemi? Very pretty.

Naomi isn't a specifically Jewish name, OP - it's biblical but when I meet a little Naomi I don't assume her parents are religious Christians or Jews, if you see what I mean. There's also an Arabic version so very cross-cultural. It's very beautiful!

You might also like Nadine, Nadia/Nadya, Nadege, Nova, Elodie, Elise, Celine (or Selene), Helen, Phoebe, Melody, Celeste, Noelia or Noelle, Seraphine (or Serafina if you want to get to 4 syllables!), Gabrielle, Estelle, Eloise, Aleida?

MotherOfDragonite · 16/12/2020 12:49

Ooh, or Romy! A very beautiful unusual one!

ChristmasCalamity · 16/12/2020 14:57

Only name I can think of that is 3 syllables, starts with N and hasn't been suggested is Nerina. I knew of a little Italian Nerina and thought the name was so pretty.

BadEyeBri · 16/12/2020 15:03

Nuala

What about Naima?

You can either pronounce it "Nay-ma" or "Nay-ee-ma"

Noflora · 16/12/2020 15:16

Not meeting your other criteria but I always think Phoebe, Zoe and Imogen are of the same ilk.
