Naima?

[Threelittlemoomins]

Top choice for DD at the minute. With Nimmy/nim as nn???

my mothers name. Love it.

Means graceful, soft, peaceful in Arabic. Often associated to describe a fragrance.

If you like Jazz, look for the John Coltrane Tune (Naima - after his wife).

Can also be spelt Naema which is a light pink rose named after the eponymous classic Guerlain perfume.

Beautiful name, very beautiful

Also spelt Naaymah

I like Naima a lot - on the list for mythical DD if we ever have her!

Oops I don't like Nimmy or Nim. Why do you have to NN it?

I know a lovely girl called Naima. Definitely use it. But 'Nimmy/Nim' as nn, I'm not sure. It might just be me, but I instantly thought they sound like 'fanjo' words.

Naima is stunning though. Added to my list too.

yes, forget the nickname.

how do you say it...my dd is Nimah arabic for little blessing....said as nee mah

Na-ee-mah

thanks slim yep i like it!

Naima just seems so grown up for a tiny baby / toddler. Will forget Nim as a nn but suspect she'll get something else given to her by my other DC!

Yes saw the john Coltrane tune and think that's quite a cool link to have!

It's a nice name, and personally I don't think it's too grown up for a baby / little girl at all.

Don't like the nns - agree with alexisfaith!

It's nice, although I think a lot of people will initially pronounce it name-a
