Naomi

[skyerojo]

Too 90s?

I tend to get fixated on lovely names and then put myself off.

Current favourite is Naomi for a few reasons, but with everyone going very cool / younique at the moment would it stand out for wrong reasons?

Also considering Romy, clearly like the sound!

Noni as a stand alone name? or nickname for Naomi

Aaaaaaaaaaw. So sweet

Love the name Naomi. The one I know has a sister Phoebe.

Naomi is nice but only when pronounced Nay-oh-me.

Don’t like Romy. Feels like a nickname.

Top choice, but then I may be biased as it's my name.

Naomi is beautiful.

I like both those names.
Interesting fact about Naomi. There is a Japanese name Naomi, though I’ve no idea how the Japanese pronounce it. Many years ago I had a pen friend in Shingagawa-ku who had a DD called Naomi and he assured me that it was a genuine Japanese name.

It is japanese name, but I don't know if it is the same name and it happens to work in Japanese, or if it's a Japanese-origin name completely independently
They say it as Nah-oh-mi

It's a biblical name (Old Testament so several thousand years of use) and very beautiful.

My daughter is a Naomi. She loves it as is not too odd, but is also not too common! She was the only Naomi at school and has met a few at Uni. We love her name as does she!

Also to add ours is a Nay-oh-mi & often gets called Ni-o-mi which she hates but tolerates

I knew one pronounced Naya -mi but the usual pronunciation is Ni-omi

A beautiful name. I prefer it pronounced as Nay-oh-me. But other variables are also nice.

Naomi is a fairly timeless name

Naomi isn't too 90s at all. I would call it classic.

I have a great-aunt and a friend (in her late 40s like me) with the name. A couple of younger-than-me Naomis at work as well.

And it still doesn't sound dated. It's a lovely name. I chose my daughter's name (Amy) for the same reason.

I think it's a lovely name.

I addition, every Naomi I've met has been a total sweetie.

Naomi is sweet.

yes to Naomi

Thank you @DuchessOfSausage , that’s interesting to know. Judging by the age of my friend and the times in which he grew up I doubt it was anything but a traditional Japanese name.

No, it isn't! It's NOT ni omi, but nay omi.

@PrincessHoneysuckle , where do you get the Ni part from?
It's Nah-omi or Nay-omi

It is lovely, and not too nineties at all. I had a friend by the name of Naomi and she would have been born in the 70s, I currently have a work colleague by the same name born in the 80s.

I prefer it being pronounced nay-omi rather than nye-omi
