Naomi?

[PartySuziPlease]

Naomi? Do you like it or not? Thinking grace as a middle name so would be Naomi grace.

Other name we like is Fern xx

Beautiful name but don’t understand why anyone would pronounce it with the stress on the first syllable.

I thought that was the traditional British pronunciation. Stress on second syllable seems to be the standard US pronunciation so is probably heard more often.

I love it. It's unusual but classic and sort exotic without being OTT. More of an adult name than a child name, but you're an adult for a lot longer than you're a child.

This name should NEVER be pronounced it nah-oh-mee this is awful and is just a terrible sound not a name. I have lived with this pronunciation for a while now and detest it. If you go for Naomi then don't whatever you do move to a german speaking country... (bit of an outing post but had to get it off my chest) or if you do happen to have to move then replace the 'a' with an 'e' and you'll get the nice pronunciation of the name...

Naomi is lovely. I prefer it to Fern.

I really like both Naomi and Fern.

I have a Naomi!

Where we live, most people pronounce it Ny-oh-mee, though.

DH is Israeli so he says it "Neh-oh-MEE".

Our posh neighbour says it "Nermee."

If you don't mind the inevitable variation, it's a great name.

Loads of nickname potential. I call her Yomi, sometimes Nayo. MIL calls her Nom.
