I hate Romy.

Poppy is fairly popular, nice enough.
Naomi would be my preference of the three - suits all ages, isn't overly common, nice sound to it.

Romy or Naomi

Why do you hate it?

Naomi - classic but too many different ways of saying it
Poppy - cute
Romy - nothingy

I only like Poppy

cptartapp · 28/06/2023 19:06

Naomi.
Poppy is awful. Wet and infantile.

marshmallowfinder · 28/06/2023 19:08

Nice names. Naomi is lovely.

Lovelynaomi · 28/06/2023 19:14

So many compliments 😍 I used to hate my name. Especially since nobody can bloody spell it.

But since growing up a little (30) I've started to really love my name. In fact I've started using the full Naomi rather than Nay. 🌷 it's a really interesting name too with Japanese & Hebrew meanings.

Team Naomi!

Poppy is ok for a 3 year old, not so much for a 53 year old.
Naomi is classic and classy, Romy is fine too.

GoodVibesHere · 28/06/2023 19:19

Naomi is best of the three.

Poppy is ok for a cat or dog. It's just too sickly sweet and twee for an adult. I'd hate to be called Poppy.

FayCarew · 28/06/2023 19:25

But Poppy aged 53 will be the same age as Alfie, Teddy, Ellie, Evie...

DramaAlpaca · 28/06/2023 19:28

Naomi - I like it very much, it's got a sophisticated feel to it.

Romy - nice enough but best as a diminutive for Rosemary as it's a bit insubstantial.

Poppy - so cutesy and twee it makes my teeth itch. It sounds like a noise, not a name.

Heckythump1 · 28/06/2023 19:30

Naomi is a bit middled-aged womany, sorry.

Love Romy and Poppy though!
I know a fantastic young lady called Romy and I have a Poppy myself and know a few others!

Naomi is my favourite!

What nicknames do you get? I love it but struggle to picture nicknames that are as lovely as the full name. And everyone ends up getting called nicknames really don't they!

Naomi. Love it.
Poppy. It’s a little girl name.
Romy. Made up name, to me.

unicornjewels · 28/06/2023 20:18

Romy

avocadotofu · 28/06/2023 20:19

Definitely Naomi!

17caterpillars1mouse · 28/06/2023 20:19

Love Naomi

Hate Romy

Poppy is OK but I don't find it a strong name

St0nehenge · 28/06/2023 20:21

Naomi

OneAndDon3 · 28/06/2023 20:21

Love Naomi. You can use Mi or Mimi as a nickname if you want.

Does it irritate you too when people pronounce it Ny-oh-me?

Kaamos · 28/06/2023 20:22

Naomi

pyjamalife · 28/06/2023 20:24

Love Romy.

I like Naomi, too, however I was told it's I Moan backwards so I wouldn't personally use it, for that. (Sorry to point it out if not aware, but I was told it by a Naomi.

Not a fan of Poppy.
