Avoiding down-market spellings and masculine names. Thanks x

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'm another Naomi whose parents and siblings pronounce my name differently to how I do! 🤣

Weirdly spelling doesn't bother me too much and the only pronunciation that bothered me was "Ni-oh-me", but I realise that was more of an accent issue as now I live in Wales where loads of people pronounce it like that and it doesn't bother me!

Beautiful name but as other posters have said people don’t pronounce it correctly .

Sunnyflow · 12/12/2024 13:35

I'd say Nah oh mee

There's no AY in Naomi imo

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

Edited

Nay-oh-mi though ni-o-mi is lovely as well and I wouldn't be bothered.

I love Naomi! Oddly it didn't occur to me as an option when I had DD but if I had another it would def be a top contender, and it's quite unusual these days.

Love it. Especially with a one syllable middle name - Jane, Grace, Kate, Rose.

It’s not used much but isnt too out there and is easy to spell. One of the two I know is half Japanese and it was chosen as a name that worked well in UK and Japan. Hers is pronounced Nowmi

RSavernake · 21/12/2024 18:21

I like it a lot. I agree that a one syllable name would work best.
Naomi Faye sounds nice I think.

Tophelleborine · 21/12/2024 18:23

I love it, it's a bit 80s in a really great way. Naomi Rose?
