Naomi?

Happy New Year 🎊
We've chosen the name Naomi for DD who will be our first and last. However, we're utterly at a loss for a middle name.
DH prefers another name that travels well but not fussed about it. I have a soft spot for more traditional Brit, uncommon but not too marmite. I don't want the combined name to be on the nose religious as we are not particularly devout. Surname is English and 2 syllables - something like "Baldwin"

If she’s going to be an only why don’t you each give her the middle name you prefer and let her have three names? Nobody uses them anyway. If you agree on your first name then all good.

Lovely name and nice suggestion above.

My suggestions:
Naomi Alexandra
Naomi Elizabeth
Naomi Josephine
Naomi Kate

Naomi Elizabeth
Naomi Josephine
Naomi May
Naomi Leigh
Naomi Marie
Naomi Ffion
Naomi Sophia
Naomi Clarissa
Naomi Cecil
Naomi Angharad

Love the suggestions of Naomi Alexandra and Elizabeth. A few more ideas -

Naomi Olivia
Naomi Matilda
Naomi Genevieve
Naomi Vivienne
Naomi Eloise
Naomi Louisa
Naomi Georgina
Naomi Joanne
Naomi Suzanne
Naomi Victoria
Naomi Serena
Naomi Amelia
Naomi Eliza
Naomi Estelle
Naomi Nicole
Naomi Danielle
Naomi Rebecca
Naomi Alice
Naomi Isabella
Naomi Eleanor
Naomi Harriet
Naomi Clara
Naomi June

Lovely name, love it with Eloise and Vivian. These were my first thoughts,

Naoimi Cora
Naomi Madeleine
Naomi Helena
Naomi Clementine

Great name btw!
I’m Naomi Jade

Naomi Clara
Naomi Celeste
Naomi Alice
Naomi Gloria
Naomi Joy
Naomi Felicity
Naomi Zelda

I know a Naomi Jane and Naomi Diana
i like using family names for middle names though.

Naomi Louisa
Naomi Celeste
Naomi Zara
Naomi Estelle
Naomi Bridget
Naomi Genevieve

Naomi is lovely and v underused

just use both names you like for middle names, lots of people have two

Naomi Elizabeth
Naomi Rose Ellen
Naomi Lilac
Naomi Aster Mary
Naomi Victoria

I think given 3 syllables, a one syllable middle name would work well:

Naomi Claire
Naomi Grace
Naomi Jane
Naomi Joy
Naomi May
Naomi Rose

Jade, Kate, Claire, Grace, Jane, Joy, May and Rose are filler middle names, as are Anne and Louise. Use something more meaningful.

Out of curiosity, have you had to contend with varying pronunciations? I've found the pronunciation a wee bit debated on other posters' threads. Seems most say Neigh-omi (as in horses neigh) but we're more likely to get Nigh-omi (as in Bill Nighy) where we live.

Yes the three syllable Naomi goes well with a one syllable middle name..

Candice Marie from Nuts in May was also a good flowing name 😂

You could always spell it Nyomi if you want it pronounced that way.

Please don't.

We're happy with the usual spelling, thank you x

This. No one knows middle names so call her whatever you each fancy.

My daughter is Naomi Autumn and she loves her name.

Don’t do this! Bloody awful.

Naomi Annabelle
Naomi Gabrielle
Naomi Yvonne

I work with a lovely Naomi, and she pronounces hers as Neigh-Me, missing out the ‘oh’ sound entirely.

Ah, I know it has a Japanese origin as well so that may account for one of the variations. It UK it seems to be a matter of the prevailing accent more than anything.

Yes, people are always pronouncing it wrong and calling me Niomi but I’ve got used to it
