Thoughts on Naomi and middle name suggestions

[HonestCrab]

Avoiding down-market spellings and masculine names. Thanks x

I don't like the way it seems to get said in several different ways.

It's a 'meh' name to me!

It's nice enough....a bit 90s to me.

I love Naomi!

It was the name of my cool friend at school and she's still cool now aged nearly 60!

Love Naomi!

For middle names I'd consider

Evangeline
Violet
Jessica
Clara
Sarah
Maude
Catherine

Naomi is a nice, underused classic.

How about

Naomi Jane
Naomi June
Naomi Jade
Naomi Kate
Naomi Clare
Naomi Olivia
Naomi Matilda
Naomi Nicole
Naomi Eliza
Naomi Louisa
Naomi Victoria
Naomi Serena
Naomi Florence
Naomi Violet
Naomi Eloise
Naomi Susannah
Naomi Abigail

My friend has a Naomi and this is the bane of her life

I like Naomi as a name, perhaps in part because without exception every one I have known with that name has been a lovely person.

As for a middle name, a one syllable one sounds appropriate, perhaps one from an ancestor.

Find it a tiny bit dated, but could be a lot worse!

naomi violet
naomi scarlett
naomi sarah
naomi hannah
naomi grace
naomi joy
naomi willow
naomi ruth
naomi beatrice
naomi juliet
naomi harriet
naomi helena
naomi annabelle
naomi alice

I really like it, long history and a bit sparky, yet cool and collected

I'd avoid the cliche single syllable middle name, and probably also anything else biblical -

I like Naomi Beatrice suggested above

Or maybe

Naomi Ines
Naomi Carys
Naomi Edith
Naomi Elsbeth
Naomi Gwyneth
Naomi Adelaide
Naomi Genevievre
Naomi Isabel
Naomi Emmeline

It's my daughter's name (she's in her twenties) and I love it ! There aren't very many of them so you wouldn't have to worry about there being lots in a class.

It does get pronounced in lots of different ways and shortened to lots of different versions but we've have never really minded about that.

Naomi Skye

Are you saying it Nay-oh-mi or nay-u-mi or ni-o-mi?

My sisters name we pronounce as Nay-oh-mi and her middle name is Jayne

It's NAY-oh-mee in the UK isn't it? The others are mispronunciations I think

My friend is nay-u-mi. She’s in the uk.

Naomi Ruth
Naomi Rosabel
Naomi Deirdre
Naomi Kathleen
Naomi Cosette

I love Naomi!

Naomi Kate
Naomi Alice
Naomi Frances

It’s lovely and I had no idea you could say it any way other than Nay Oh Mee never heard it any other way.
Naomi Rachel
Naomi Elizabeth
Naomi Jessica
Naomi Rebecca

I love it.

Naomi Lynn
Naomi Jade
Naomi Coral
Naomi Beth
Naomi Isabella
Naomi Rosabelle
Naomi Addison
Naomi Alice
Naomi Louise.
Naomi Grace
Naomi Pearl
Naomi Skye
Naomi Jane
Naomi Elise
Naomi Dot
Naomi Iris
Naomi Leigh
Naomi Aurora
Naomi Celeste
Naomi Sabrina
Naomi Charlotte
Naomi Kate
Naomi Savannah
Naomi Scarlett
Naomi Florence

A friend of my mum had a daughter she called Naomi but she wanted it pronounced “Name-ee”. If someone pronounces it differently from the way you do, how much will it annoy you?

@Scutterbug , I'd say NAY-o-mi, but I've heard Nay-O-mi, NIGH-u-mi, Nigh-O-mi, NA-o-mi, Na-O-mi...

I’m biased as I have one month old Naomi, but I love it!

People are rarely rude about a name once the baby has arrived, but we’ve had a lot of compliments and they seem genuine. Lots of people saying you don’t come across it often but it’s recognisably a name. Several people have asked if we’re pronouncing it NayOhMi or NyOhMi so if different pronunciations will annoy you that’s something to consider—but at least people are aware of the different options and ask! I don’t really hear the difference, myself (and I think in the UK NayOhMi is more southern and NyOhMi more northern?).

I also considered beforehand that it might be a bit dated/90s, and it’s definitely been declining in popularity since the mid-90s, but that was a bit of a unintended feature of our shortlist, so not important in the end.

As someone called Naomi I think it’s an excellent name 😀It can be pronounced in a variety of ways (in fact my parents pronounce it differently to how I do) but weirdly I don’t mind this as long as it’s recognisable. However I do get annoyed if it’s spelt wrong (go figure)

I love it.

I have one.

The pronunciation is an issue though.

At nursery she's known as Nigh-OH-me. Older people say it NAY-ermee. We pronounce it Nay-OH-me.
