Naomi
Meadow would get a , sorry!

JollyMrsChristmas · 01/12/2009 16:58

Naomi definatly.

cakeywakey · 01/12/2009 16:59

Another vote for Naomi here. I think that Meadow is a bit pretentious (sorry)

GoldenSnitch · 01/12/2009 16:59

Naomi.

A meadow is a thing not a person

badietbuddy · 01/12/2009 17:00

Really? Meadow??

pofacedandproud · 01/12/2009 17:01

Naomi is lovely. Meadow is obviously a field but also what would you shorten it to? Med? Meddy? Medders?

MunchMummy · 01/12/2009 17:02

Naomi - because its my name and I love it.
And there arn't many of us about - which is a bonus.

displayuntilbestbefore · 01/12/2009 17:02

anyone called Meadow would spend their life being nicknamed Field, Pasture, Greenbelt.....

Rindercella · 01/12/2009 17:03

Naomi. No contest

LilRedWG · 01/12/2009 17:04

Naomi.

Squishabelle · 01/12/2009 17:05

Naomi. Meadow is not a name!

sweetkitty · 01/12/2009 17:11

Naomi

I really like it but DH has said no to potential DD4 being a Naomi

Don't like Meadow at all

Mammina · 01/12/2009 17:21

Naomi, lovely name. You could use Meadow as a middle name maybe?

passionberry · 01/12/2009 17:21

I prefer Meadow. (Sounds v American though)

randomimposter · 01/12/2009 17:27

look, if it's good enough for Tony and Carmela...
Meadow's fine...

Naomi's ok too

RainRainGoAway · 01/12/2009 17:28

Naomi, naomi, naomi every time.

Please don't do Meadow. It is not good. I may be allergic to it.

Fimbo · 01/12/2009 17:30

Wow, bit of a difference in choice of names there. Please pick Naomi.

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 01/12/2009 17:30

Naomi is a lovely name - wish I'd thought of it for dd.

To my ears, Meadow is one of those "daughter of an ageing hippy" type names.

ReneRusso · 01/12/2009 17:31

Naomi

lucykate · 01/12/2009 17:32

naomi. please don't inflict the name meadow on a poor defenseless child, it's awful.

BalloonSlayer · 01/12/2009 17:37

Another vote for Naomi.

Meadow makes me think of Meadowlark Lemon from the Harlem Globetrotters. Now there's a name and a half!

CarmenSanDiego · 01/12/2009 17:52

Meadow

MadameDuBain · 01/12/2009 17:55

Meadow for me. Just more original and cool. Naomi makes me think of someone in their 30s.

BonjourIvressedeNoel · 01/12/2009 17:58

Not keen on meadow. Maybe asa middle name if you can'tlive without it. Love Naomi though - classic yet unuusual.

MamaLazarou · 01/12/2009 18:04

MEADOW?

Naomi is a beautiful name.
