Tomi got a girl

[DmcinT]

Thoughts on the name Tomi for a girl?

With so many nice girls names, why give her a boys one?

I wen to school with a Peta ( Peter) and she hated it- thinking her parents wished for boy

I know a lady named Tomi. She's Nigerian and it's short for Tomiwa (I think that's how you spell it).
She's a lovely person, so for me it has positive associations! And it's cute, I think.

No. I have an uncle Tommy and a cousin Tommy. It's absolutely a man's name.

I know a girl called Tobi and another called Jamie . What about Toni ( Antonia ) .

I assumed it was pronounced Towmi not like Tommy …. so to rhyme with Toni as mentioned upthread

She'll spend her life correcting the spelling- if you need to call her Tomi, you need to spell it the usual way.

I also know a Nigerian Tomi

No.

I know a Toma, she's Latvian and I quite like it.

I like the name Thomasina for a girl, with the nickname Tommy. She'll grow into whatever name you give her.

Charlotte's have been called Charlie for years and years I don't see why other traditional boys names shouldn't be used for girls too.

I think Tomi is cute.

As a nick name for Thomasina.

I also know a Tomi, Nigerian female, short for Oluwatomi iirc.

She'll spend her life saying, "No, it's Tomi not Toni".

Awful

Is it Toe-mi or Tommi? Tamsin and Thomasina are nice. Tammy is better than Tommi for a girl.

Def not.

I always wonder if girls given what are in reality boys’ names feel like they disappointed their parents by being a girl!

It looks like you can’t spell and you’ve named your child after a toy manufacturer.

She’ll always be called Toni which is horrible.

I think we need some more info about you and why you like this name OP. And the pronunciation. As clearly, looking at these comments already, there's some ignorance around people from other countries and cultures who choose non English names.

It's well known in Japan, Finland and Nigeria.
I like it.

Just because one doesn’t like a name it doesn’t mean one is ignorant

context is everything

So long as you have a boy called Chloe....

How is it supposed to be pronounced? I didn't read as Tommy but toe-me (as is Toni) then realised you might mean Tommy.

Its well known in Finland for sure, but for boys.

Not keen personally. Tamara nn Tammy is nice?

Tamara is lovely
