The personality of the name Naomi
Girl Naomi is a mystery to others. Her sensitivity and emotions are usually hidden under the mask of dispassion, icy silence. Naomi strives to always develop, and improve herself. She loves traveling, and various changes in her life.
Naomi is to some extent an idealist, she will try to bring the work she has started to a state as close as possible to the ideal. Her inner world is rich in fantasies, and her inner life and spirituality are very important to her, but very often she feels a sense of loneliness and misunderstanding. Therefore, it is very important to surround Naomi with love and attention from childhood.
Naomi may feel inferior, but she should be supported, and encouraged, and her artistic and creative abilities (painting, music, theater, sewing, and cooking) should be developed. She will be able to express her feelings in an original approach to standard things: an unusual vase, and an original design.
Naomi appreciates calmness and loneliness, she is interested in many things that are considered out of the ordinary. She is often fascinated by strange or occult phenomena. Emotionally her life is not easy for her, Naomi will always find a way to complicate everything around her. This is a sensual and romantic nature, dreams of harmony with her beloved. It is difficult for Naomi to communicate, it is difficult to find a common language. However, she is capable of being devoted.
Naomi can choose both a passive role (stenographer, secretary, social or medical worker) and an active profession that requires assertiveness, activity, and frequent movements (television work, journalist).

My name is Naomi, and I love it. I didn't love it as a kid because I thought it was too unusual Also, it used to bother me when people called me "NaI'mi" (first syllable rhyming with 'nigh' or 'thigh'), as many have mentioned here. But now it doesn't matter to me. As an adult I adore my name and all pronunciations associated with it. I chose an unusual name for my daughter because i love unusual names. I also like that it tends to signal my ethnicity (Jewish, in this case).
My name is Naomi Maree and my mum had my name picked out since she was 13. Naomi isnt a very common name and as i have gotten older it has grown on me!
I love my name Naomi, glad to here that other Naomi's suffer mis-pronounciations as well. I get Ni-o-me a lot and Nah-Oh-me but I pronounce it Nay-oh-mi. I don't mind so much though, i've learnt to live with it as all pronounciations are fairly decent. But it does depend on who it is and whether they are a friend or not.
We named our daughter Natalie. Thirty one years later'she is a beautiful young woman that is proud of her name. We made a great choice!
I totally love my name~ and yes is has a Japanese origin so that add more magic to it <3 my only nickname is Mimi but i like it ^-^ i've only met one Naomi before so I'm glad to see so many of us! ^-^
my nicknames are "nomi", "mimi", "nami"-the most common is "Omi". Naomi is also of Japanese origin and means "Above all, beauty" or "Honest fruit".
My name is Naomi Renee. I think It'sounds pretty good. It's a nice name.
I used to think the name was kind of bland and I didn't really like it. i've finally kind of come to turns with my name and now I'm embracing it because i've only known 2 Naomi's in my lifetime, too, and I think that's really cool. The name almost sounds indian to me. XD I love it. I never really cared if my name was pronounced "NI-omi or NAY-omi"..I like both so w/e.
U logged on to find out the meaning of this name. When god blesses me i have decided to name my child with thios name.
In Biblical Hebrew Naomi is NOT pronounced Nah-oh-me, but rather Noh-oh-me. In modern Hebrew, the nickname is Nomi. My daughter answers to Nomi, Neyomi, Nayomi -- she's pretty flexible about it, and she loves her name and pretty much anything else that'starts with the letter "n."
My names Naomi buh I jst get calld Nomi by ma m8s lol!
I love this name, I'm thinking of naming my daughter. I pronounce it "Nay-Oh-Mee"
Im a Naomi, I cant beli've people call you lot Nom to, i thought i was the only nom in the world! i have a twin brother call John and i thought thats the only reason i was called Nom or Nomi obviously not!
Omg i love my naomi but i hate being called NI-OMI'my naomi i think It'should stay that way
Just like almost everyone else in the comments, my name is also Naomi. I never realized that there were multiple ways to pronounce it until a few years ago when people began asking me how I pronounce it. Even now I don't really notice a difference. However I began realizing that when someone asks my name to write it down if I don't say n-ay-omi then'they miss spell it by using an I instead of an a. I really like my name and love that It's a biblical name. I do know about five other naomis and about two people who have Naomi as their middle name. Almost all the Naomis I know are younger than me, so growing up I didn't know of any other Naomis. Guess it recently got popular. But yea I really like my name and I don't care if people misspell it or pronounce it because it happened to almost everyone.
Our daughter is named Naomi. We prefer the long i pronunciation. Parents can choose to spell and pronounce the name as they wish, and it is never incorrect because we are the parents! I empathize with the ladies who dislike the alternate pronunciations and I understand why they do not like to be called different names, however, the name is beautiful regardless how it is pronounced.
ii love my name cuz ii thiink iit iis very unique for mii
My name is Naomi, and I love it! It's unique and beautiful, and It's translation is just wonderful. I was born in Japan, and of course, its Japanese translation is great. :) it does get a little annoying when people get my name wrong, but I let them. Seeing as how it does no good to try and correct them, most just keep getting it wrong! I have people call me Naigh Naigh (;ike my lil sis), or Nay, or even Sha-nai-nai. :) Naomi is the best name EVER! :D
I <3 my name, just like you all do. It's so unique and pretty and unusual. But Naomi is my middle name. XD
my name is naomi but my friends pronounce my name nI'mi. i dont like it.i love my name!
At the last minute my name was Naomi, and I get many compliments about it. Its not heard of much, and is very femenine. Yes, the I Moan name was called, and i was in 6th grade, but I found it no big deal. Of course if was a guy that mentioned it, but that phase goes away quickly. by the time the realize it, there too old to find those put-downs serious, or thats how i felt. I got it in high school, but I found it no big deal. I love my name, and the meaning is also special.
My name is naomi. since I am from Japan, often people think i converted my name to western. But it is actually very common JPN name. It means honest an beauty and I absolutely love it as it is so international. I suit my way of living.
Helooo My names naomi but people pronounce it as nyomi which i dont like. at scholl i get called Ni for some reason which i hate but they still call it me. i really like the name naomi as it is unusual and im the only naomi in the'school =)

Hi everyone, I'm Naomi too! Like everyone else, I also love my name and hate when people mispronounce it as "Nai-oh-mi.." THERE IS NO "I" in Naomi. I don't understand why there is a debate on how to pronounce "Naomi." There is a name called "NaI'mi" and It's spelled with an "I" in it. Attention parents: If you like the name "NaI'mi," pick the right spelling. Do not name her "Naomi" and say it "NaI'mi.." You're just making it more difficult for all the other Naomi's out there who have to CONSTANTLY correct people. In reponse to the person who pronounces it "n'air'mi": That's just dumb. People misspell your name because of the way You're saying it. Obviously! In the end, I love how unique, beautiful, and international my name is :)
My name is Naomi - I have only met one person with my name. My middle name also rhymes with it, so my mum will often say "Naomi [middle name]" ... i've been nicknamed "No-mee" ... I don't mind if people say "Nye-oh-mee" or "Nay-oh-mee," even'though I'd prefer "Nah-oh-mee" because It's the traditional Japanese way of saying it.
I'm Naomi and in the UK It's meant to be prounounced NAY-UH-MEE but evryone (hus not posh) says Nay-ow-mee. It's so anoying lol Funny to see how evryone says it differently
My name is Naomi.. I love it♥ .. its the best name ever.. because hardly anyone I know has the'same name :) - Naomi
naomi is the coolest name ever. i like it because it is very original.
my name is naomi too.. i HATE when people pronounce it NI'mi!! It drives me nuts. Most of my close friends call me omi, om, oms, omster, and naoms. I also hate when people call me nomi, nay, or noemi!!
Im called Naomi :) I love it,, its unique,, different ... just like me (in a good way :P) :D I agree when everyone says the get annoyed when someone calles you NaI'me.. or neomi ,, something weird like that :/ even if i pronounce it right, they wont :P But i love it all the'same xD - naomi - aged 13
my name is naomi,i like my name because it is different and not many people have that name.Its original.Means above all beauty in japenese and the pleasent one in hebrew. the whole spelling it backwards thing (imoan).I'make a joke about it :) rather than looking on the bad side of it.Iaccept it and live with it :)
my names naomi, yeah people call me nI'mi but i stopped really hearing a difference. if people ask how to pronounce it I'make sure they do it right because it drives my parents crazy when people dont say it right. ya people call me imoan but you know, in a loving way and i told my mom about that and she'said shes never realized it before. personally i dont understand how people would think its NI'mi...
OMG MY NAME IS NAOMI TOO. I CANT BELi've THAT OVER 125,081 PEOPLE HAVE OUR NAME THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I LOVE THE NAME NAOMI IT ADDS A SENSE OF UNIQUENESS AND ORIGINALITY TO ME. I COULDNT IMAGINE MYSELF WITH ANYOTHER NAME BESIDES NAOMI. NAOMI IS DIFFERENT ITS NOT LIKE EVERY OTHER NAME I LOVE IT.
Hi... I'm a 54 year old Naomi. My Japanese mum liked it because it is also Japanese (pronouned Now mi) and my dad because it is in the Bible (Ruth and Naomi). When I was going through school, there was only one other Naomi who was 2 years older. Naomi backwards is I'moan. I let friends call me Gnomes, Nomsie and Na. I don't like it when people say Nigh-o me. For a long time I wished my name was my middle name Diana, but now I love Naomi even'though it is increasinly popular.
Funny that Naomi s are often called NI'mi. My name is NI'mi and I always get called Naomi! Naomi pronounced in hebrew is Nah-oh-me.

I chose to name my daughter Naomi because of the beautiful story in the Bible about Naomi and Ruth. It is not common but we do have another in our church. We often call her Nay, she likes Omi.
I'm a Naomi and love my name - It's beautiful and timeless. You can be a baby Naomi or a an old lady - the name always fits - not like a Tracey or a Sharron. Like so many other people with the name it drives me nuts when people mispronounce it.
My naomi is Naomi Nicole i do think the 2 of them go together well. Although the saying it wrong thing really does get old but even though i hate that it spells i moan backwards i do like that it is unique. I have only met one other naomi in my life its good to know there are more out there
My names Naomi, born in 2004! There were 4 Naomi's at my school and I disliked them all because they weren't worthy of the name! I personally think Naomi belongs to brunettes❤️ Love my name
I'm a 41 year old Hispanic female named Naomi. My mother intended my name to be spelled Noemi which is the'spanish version of Naomi. However, a mix up at the hospital ended with the name Naomi; the Hebrew version. My childhood nicknames are "Emi" or "Omi". In college a lot of my friends tried to call me "Nay" which stuck for a while but I just didn't answer to it.
my name is naomi and i like my name. but the most annoying thing about it is that i get called 'nI'mi' or 'neomi' and its really quite annoying.
I love this name! I will be naming my daughter Naomi Aline.
My Name Is Naomi, I truly love it. however, people either'spell it wrong, or say it wrong. I have to tell them to say the beginning of Neighborhood. and Then omi. then'they will be right. if they spell it wrong i just ask them to read what they wrote out loud. and people have thanked me. I am 14 and i don't know anyone with it. I was named after my great grandma.
Love my name but as many othe's have pointed out NI'mi! Ahhh It's so frustrating. Also get misheard for Mary if It's loud! Born in 1994, in Norfolk, England, I love my name but wish I had a middle name which was more masculine as women with "i" or "e" sounds at the end of names tend to be taken less seriously in business.
Back in 2014 I was pregnant with my son and my husband loved Naomi for a girl. Well we finally had a girl in Feb of 07 and we named her Naomi. It fits her very well and the fact that her father's father is jewish was nice to involve that heritage into the family. Her nickname from her cousin is yomi, he couldnt day naomi and it kinda stuck.
i love the name naomi.......but its not my name but i love it
My parents named me Naomi and when I was young I didn't like it at all. I had a sister Ruth so guess they needed a Naomi. As I have reached the "golden years" I have come to love the name...A couple I knew had a baby girl and loved my name'so named their new baby "Naomi"
my name is Naomi and i hate it when people say it wrong! after reading this article i have realized that people pronounced it with an "i" instead of an "a" sometimes because of the french spelling. i never realized this till today! i used to hate my name but now i am older i really like it. i have a friend called naomi and when i was in college there was three naomis on my course including me. i also like the name niobi from the matrix but i dont think many people would choose that name for their daughter! i get called nomy and when i was younger i got called nimsi in primary school. i like the comments i get about my name and i love unusual names so im happy that it is unusual.
I'm also a Naomi and love it. Same thing as most - was very uncommon when I was little so wasn't sure about it. Love it now. Unlike othe's - I prefer and say NI'mi (though I am in theory a Naomi)... I recently started a new job and it made me laugh when'they told me they spent 30 mins having an office wide debate about how to say my name. I think Na-o-mi sounds very formal and harsh... I would prefer Naermie... But all in all don't get overly irritated by it, It's one of the wonderful things about being called Naomi is that you can choose the prenunciation. Nicknames have included: Nay, Nimi, Nomes, Ni, Naz, Nims, Nome.
My name is naomi i get called ny sometimes as a nick name. I love my name and would not change it i am considering it for the name of my future daughter if i ever have a daughter. I thank my mother'so much for naming me NaomI'many people compliment my name.
My friends call me Nay...its so awesome.And its a name from the bible. But if i had to chose id rather hav another name.
My Name is also Naomi. I pronounce it as (Nay-oh-mee). People always tend to pronounce my name as (Ni-oh-mee). I always correct them because, to me, that'sounds like a whole new name. Im in high school and, in my lifetime I have met only two people who shared the name Naomi. My most common nick names are Nomee (also spelled as Nomi) and Nome.
just kidding i speak english=) i think that it is a little akword but, cool
yer my name is haylee im 15 i love my name no1 at my school has It'spelt the'same way ive only met one other person in my life that has It'spelt the'same way i just hate it wen people spell it "ey" it "EE" every1 gets it wrong.
so glad to see so many other naomi's!! i love my name and like many othe's, i find it annoying when It's pronounced wrong. my nickname is nini and when i was younger my cousin used to call me nomes(pronounced gnomes)
It is not my name, but I would consider it for a future daughter. I like it a lot. It is unique.
My Name is Naomi And i didnt know the meaning of it was pleasant. I like my name i think its nice My Nick Name is Nazza lol Hello All The Naomi's In The World x
Everyone pronounces my name Ni-oh-me instead of Nay-oh-me
I love the fact that'someone has written my Naomi is Naomi... I always do that too! I start writing the word name and get carried away and put naomi instead!!
Hi Naomi's, I'm Naomi Ruth. Hebrew for pleasant companion. Thanks mom I love my name'so old I know It's at least 5000 years because that's what year it really is. In my opinion. I also hate Naomi when'two vowels go walking the first one does the talking.
Hello my name is also Naomi. Alot of my friends at school calls me "nami", "na-na", or "naI'mi". I prefer Naomi because it is the correct usage of my name and I love it, love it.
I'might just be the odd person out but my name is actually pronounced Ni-o-me because I think It's just the way that my sisters and I had our nicknames. my sisters are Nicole and Natalie. We are called Nic, Nat and Ni for short.
MY NAME IS NAOMI AND I LOVE IT MY DAD GAVE ME THAT NAME BECAUSE It'sOMETHING DIFFRENT I'mEAN The'sAME NAME IS NOT COOL YOU LOVE TO HERE NEW NAMES
My name's Naomi! I have to admit, I didn't like my name as a child. Bascially because nobody seemed to be able to pronounce it correctly. I live in Australia so I had a lot of people calling me 'NIGH-oh-mee' which I HATED. I also got a lot of 'haha, You're name backwards is 'I'moan' (yeah, very mature... *eye roll*). But as i've got older, I think i've grown into my name and It'suits me. It's also quite exotic sounding and quite uncommon even'though it Isn't an extremely mega rare name. It also has an inter'sing array of nicknames, i've found. I get called 'Na' (pronounced 'Nay') by my Mum and bestfriend, 'Nome' by my dad and 'NaI'm' by my brother.
My sister is called Naomi. I wish she wasn't so I could use it for a daughter (when I have kids). BUT - why do people pronounce it Nye-Ow-Mee. It's spelled Naomi, and is a name that is pronounced how It's spelled. What the problem❤️❤️!❤️!❤️ This is one of life's mysteries.
My mum always told me (and those around us!) the pronunciation of Naomi was more like Nay-u-me, and to not over emphasise the 'o'. Apparently the baby book at the time said the 'o' was pronounced like the 'o' in the word 'peony' (the flower). So more like pee-u-ne'. I have spent my life correcting people but have come to a point now when I say 'just call me Nay' - which is a shame as I do quite like the way I was christened.
Naomi is not to common, and not too uncommon, perfect for me!
I totally remember hating my name for what seemed like most of my life. I get called NI'mi by about half of the people i know, which has never really bothered me. What can i do at this point anyways❤️ I feel like many people i know look like their name, which i don't feel i do. though i'd rather not, i feel like i fIt'something more generic.
my middle name is naomi. i love it because it is so beautiful. My mom gave me my great-great grandmother's first name as my middle name.
It is such a beautiful name, and I love being called it ! However, there are so many different pronunciations, and I just wanted to say that it can be frustrating when you are consistently called the wrong thing. One teacher fI'mly beli'ved in the wrong pronunciation, so in a lesson, he'said that my actual way was cringey!
I somehow really like the names Naomi Trina together. When i was a teenager, I had a character I named Naomi Trina when playing The Sims lol
I love the name Naomi. It's at the top of my list for my baby girl due in August. I'm thinking Naomi Constance (Connie being my grandmother), but think other "grandma" names sound nice too, Naomi Audrey, Naomi Katherine, Naomi Sophia, etc. I also much prefer the nay-o-me production. Noemi is a beautiful latin alternative.
this is my name i get it mispround allmost everyday people dont get why i get so mad when'they say it wrong.
Hi,I am Naomi.I like my name,but sometimes I wish I could change it.but that is pretty rare.My sister calls me omi and yomi and yomes.and yomiburgs.YOU GUYS PROBABLY STOLE MY NICKNAMES!SO STOP![just kidding,but I did make up the name omi and yomiburgs and yomes and yomi]also ocasionally my dad calls me BUBBY!AND SPARKY![oh,and please comment on the name 'emily'too!
My name is Naomi. But I hate that most people call me N❤️eye❤️oh❤️me.
i always thought my name wasnt that popluar but after reading ur comments it is and i suppose it can be that badx
We wanted to name our baby Ava but it became way too popular!! I know five baby girls named Ava - all born in 2020. It is going to be like Jennifer and Amy - I work with about 50 people at my job and we have 6 Amys and 5 Jennifers - it gets confusing!!!
I'm a Naomi - after a brief moment of teenage foolishness where I chose to go by my middle name'sam. This was fortunate, as there were already two other Naomi's in the boarding school, but no Sam's. I soon changed back to Naomi once I realised how 'dull' Sam was. I prefer my name to be pronounced Naomi - with a dipthong between'the a and o making it closer to nayamee (sort of) and loathe the ever mistaken Nighohmee. Parents named me Naomi as they thought it couldn't be diminuitivised (I know that's not a word...) and then within 20mins of deciding, had already started referring to me as Nomes. :)
I have a 10 year old girl named Barrett Elisabeth, and an 8 year old boy named Grayson Allister - VERY small world!
My name is Naomi and I really really love my name.. I am called Mimi or Mimay by my friends.. I hate it when people mispronounce it and calls me Noemi and I have to remind them the real pronunciation of my name..
I love my name, but the part that I hate about it is that my sisters make fun of me because it spells i moan backwards....
Here's a great twist. My mother's middle name was Naomi, as was her grandmother's, but everyone called her grandmother Nay-oh-muh. My mother was told that the "i" in Naomi was pronounced like an "a" (similar to what the townsfolk of MI'mi, Tx claim). To lend a bit of creditiliby to this pronunciation, we have a census record from the early 1900s wherein the census clerk listed my grandmother as "Naoma" even'though her name was spelled "Naomi." So apparently anything goes with this name. :-)
i love my name naomi, people always call me nI'mi though and it really gets on my nerves. naomi is a good name and i like it a lot :) i think I'mite use it as a middle name for my futer daughter :P
My youngest daughter is named Naomi. Even'though I sent her to school with a note showing the phonetic pronunciation of her name, her teacher and most of the kids still call her NI'mi ... drives me and my husband bonkers. Naomi he'self Isn't too bothered by it. Hopefully when she gets a bit older (she's 9 now) she will feel comfortable correcting people because It's such a pretty name.
We named our third child Sawyer - no regrets. I come from a family of woodworkers, so the name fits
my name is Naomi also!! wooo!!! i love it a lot!! and yes some people call me the famous "NIEomi" and then all my friends say, "It's NAYomi...get it right!!" haha so It's not so bad. i love how It's biblical and the meaning is really cool. i had a girl in my class stare at me when'the teacher called me Naomi and then after wards she'said she was looking at me because she loved my name'so much and thought it was cool to have a Naomi in the class. also, i get TONS of compliments. :)
I love my name.. Naomi Elizabeth. I don't know why Naomi is not more popular... but I'm not complaining!! :)
i like the name but everyone pronunces it nay-om-ie but (at least in my case)its pronunced no-am-ie
My first daughter is Naomi (now 8). She loves her name and othe's like it too. I wanted somewhat unusual names for my kids and see that Naomi is becoming more and more popular. I guess there is a reason for it, lovely name.
Guess what my name is❤️....Naomi! Isn't it a great name. I get called 'NI'mi' all the time. Come on, people, now hard can it be to pronounce Na-o-mi❤️ My family calls me Mimi and my friend calls me NayNay. My nephew will call me Nayomi, when he wants to be funny.
Im a Naomi and I love this name! It's so unique and excotic, just like me!!
My daughters name is Naomi and I sometimes feel bad for her beacause the name Naomi is a beautiful name but people make fun of her'sometimes because Naomi backwards is "I'moan." I didn't think it was so bad but kids these days have dirty minds.
My name is spelled Naomi but pronounced 'Nay-oh-muh'. I hated my name growing up. No one, not even'the people in my family would pronounce it right. Whenever I talk to customer'service I simply refer to myself as Na-oh-mee to save the discussion. However, as i've grown up, it has been something i've found sets me apart from the crowd and for those who care enough to be my friend, they will make the effort to pronounce it correctly. Everyone else is naturally forgiven, it is after all spelled the common way. I actually like how it looks written down with the 'i' at the end but prefer the'softer'sounding short 'u' sound at the end. There were three older adults close to our family who pronounced Naomi as "Nay-oh-muh" and I beli'ved I was named for one of them.
I am looking for the correct way to spell and say all three ways. Are they all said the same way or are they different❤️ I like the NIOME sound of Namoi, if that is one of the ways it can be said. Help!
I don't mind when people say it wrong. My own father called me NI'mi. I respond to both. Naomi is a great name!
Knew a Naomi in high school, but haven't met one in many years. Know a Noemi (pronounced the way it looks). i've always loved Naomi though... It's a dignified name, one with class.
My name is Naomi, and no one else has the name that I know..except all of you people, I am actually writing a persuasive speech about naming your child Naomi right now. I love it.
My name is Naomi.... but since I'm Mexican It's pronounced no(short o)o(like saying oh)me. My friend calls me nay or nay nay. most of my friends though call me ome or nome(long e). one of my friends calls me nanome;)....I love my name... It's even in the bible. but It's annoying when people spell it wrong! But it is pretty funny=)
Hi, my names Naomi to but isnt It'so annoying when people say nI'mi but my nickname is nomi
hey my name is NAOMI!!! you would never of geussed that one would you lol!!I LOVE this name it is so great i would never change it !!!I love the nick names i get from it to !!! like nini and omi.. i would defen'tly recomend this to people who are having a child it is an amazing name!!! Love use all my little NAOMI'S x-x-x
xD my name is Jack, and I wouldn't change my name to ANYTHING else if i could. I know more than 2 othe's named Jack, and it gets annoying cuz at school people are always going " which jack❤️ which jack❤️" Ther's only like 3 Jacks in my grade though. The worst name ive been called is Jackass..it pretty bad..but you could call someone Nickass..or Frankass..so i dont see why Jackass is terrible..thx for reading
Love the name of course!! I have two daughters and my youngest is named Naomi. Neither one of us like it when people say NYomi, it is pronounced with the A sound. Even when I stress the A when in introduction some people still I'mediately say Nyomi. So my daughter at age 5, she is now 6, started introducing he'self as Naynay and would tell the people "Just call me Naynay so you don't get my name wrong". How smart she is!!!
My name is Naomi and i love it, it is different because there is alot of Olivia's and Jessica's and Megan's so its great to be different. I'm fro Manchester and people pronounce it differantly! Either Nay-Oh-Mi or Ne-Oh-Mi or Nai-Oh-Mi. I dont mind how people pronouce it its just how people spell it what annoys me!
whats up my name is laken! i was born in may of 1999 and i love my name'so much! every1 always mispronounces it but im use to it now. ive never met anyone my age named laken but i hear of alot of younger kids bein named it.
Our third grandchild will be born very soon, and will be named Naomi Faith..... did not care for the name at first, as It'seemed to be an "old" name, but it is a name that'seems to be gaining greatly in popularity!! and it will be pronounced "Nay-OH-me".....
"Naomie" is my name. I wish my mom would have left off the "e" at the end because I have been dealing with that misspelling my whole life. I have to agree with the other girls here - everyone tries to say "Ny-oh-mee". I don't even know where they get this from - when does "ao" ever make the long I sound. Anyway, I rarely meet anyone with my name (I'm 31) except the occasional "That's my great aunt's name!" I HATED my name when I was younger - I longed to be an Ashley or Jennifer. Now I love it.
my husband and i named our daughter Naomi and she exactly is a Naomi because she is beautiful and she is everybody's sweetheart. Actually it was my husband who got the name Naomi from the Bible since we would like to name our daughter from the Bible and it also turned out that it is a japanese name meaning Beautiful. And what i like it better also because It's a unique uncommon name, not many kids i know name Naomi.
My Name is Naomi also and all throughout school my language arts teache's (out of all the teache's) always pronounce my name wrong!! I'mean there the ones teaching me phonics ! But no matter what i still love my name.
My daughters name is Nyomi. It is a variation of Naomi. I got it from the bible story of Naomi and Ruth but I saw Naomi Cambelll on a talk show and the host pronounced her name Nyomi. I liked that pronunciation better and originally wanted to leave the "A" and add an accent mark(two dots)over the "A' but thought people would see the "A" and still pronounce it Nay-omi. So I changed it to a "y" and we pronounce it Ny-omi ("y" makes the'sound "i" like eye)
my name is naomi and I love it! i rarely meet people with the'same name, and i always get compliments on it. people think It's exotic, gorgeous, thought-provoking. i love my name. :)
When I have a girl her name will be Laila Naomi. Naomi is such a beautiful name. My childhood best friend died of cancer, and her name was Naomi. I hope my child can carry on her grace and kindess.
It was my grandma's name and she liked it. She liked it pronounced Nao ma, like how they said it on the TV show "Mama's Family"
I can't beli've that'so many other people have the Name Naomi!!! I have never thought about this before, but since my teacher asked me how it was pronounced, I have began to dislike it when'they call me NI'mi. It is like "How could you get the a and the i confused❤️ The i is at the end of the word!" There is one other person in my school that has the'same name. I wonder if she has this trouble! ;) :)
Beautiful name. Love it. I would pronounce it Ni-oh-me, if we choose it for our future daughter.
my name is naomi. i like to pronounce it NAY-OH-MY. all my life people have called me nI'mi, nomi,nay nay, naomi. im just used to it and sick of correcting people. i LOVE my name. It's so unique as am i.
I'm another Naomi and I couldn't ever wear my name with pride due to people always mispronouncing it, correcting people all the time It's not something I want to do for the rest of my life, I now go by the name Mia
My name is Naomi, pronounced Nay-OH-mee and I love my name but get super annoyed when people pronounce is NIGH-oh-mee! Although I am pretty used to it I hate it especially when people ask me how its pronounced and I tell them, but then'they just pronounce it wrong! My middle name is Keziah (pronounced Kez-EE-ah) and I love the name combination! Naomi Keziah!
Hi naomi ..i agree to all the meanings of name ..it is the'shizz .x
My friend's name is Naomi and I absolutly love it! It describes her, she is a beautiful, Japanese girl, and is very honest. I wish my name were Naomi!
My name is Naomi and I love it. My mother named me after Naomi in the bible. I have never met anyone personally with the'same name. I get a lot of compliments. Anyways I LOVE IT!
It has a nice, upbeat sound to it. It's not like the usual soft and girly names.
I named my daughter Naomi Ashlee. I have also been told Naomi is a Red Indian name.
I love my name!! My mother was reading the bible one night and came across the name Naomi. She fell in love with it. The middle name she gave me is Zoe. So when you put the two names together they mean "pleasant life". My mother never meant for that to happen. I'm glad she picked those names. However, I do hate the fact that most people cannot pronounce it correctly!!!! That's really annoying.
I'm a Naomi and I absolutely love my name. If you are going to name your kid Naomi, beware: 87% of people call it NI'mi and lately i have been'teased a lot about It'spelling backwards: imoan. So just consider that.
I love the name Naomi i want to name my child it if i have a girl when i grow up
yup, Caitlynn's my name. The name Kaitlin is pretty commen, but if you spell it Caitlynn, its unique! People NEVer'spell my name right since there are so many ways to spell it. CATlin, and Caleen are only a few.
Naomi happens to be my name too, and I always loved my name, it wasn't common at all when I grew up so I loved being different than the other kids growing up, now however a few more people are naming their kids Naomi. I still wouldn't call it common which people tend to say it is. It's not as common as names like Kathy, Jennifer, Amy or Megan and i've only seen only around 3 other Naomi's not within the'same time frame quite a few years apart. I also can not stand it when people say it wrong and tell me that It's a hard name to say. It really Isn't hard to say at all. It's pronounced just the way It's spelled and it has the'same two first letters as the word name, so you'd think people would figure that out. Besides their already is an American Indian name that'sounds like Ni-ohm-e. Might as well call Branden, Brendon for a guy. One time own 2 year old called me by my name Naomi by accident and she even pronounced it right. If a 2 year old can pronounce it right then everybody should be able to pronounce it right.
My husband and I named our daughter after my Grandma and she was delighted to have another Naomi in the world. My daughter is five and she loves her name. Naomi's rule!
MYY NAMES NI'mI COZ AM AN IDIVIDUAL AND AM NOT A SHEEEEP
HI'my name is Naomi tooo! I love my name, as i was young I asked my mother why she name that, she'said God gave it to her. I get so many compliments, especially when little children want to call my name for everything they love me, and they get said when'there parents tell them is Na-omm-Me, but they couldnt get so i tell them its not there fault, just say "Lay-on-Me" and when'they say It'saounds like my name. But hey they barely can pronouce good, so I'make It'simple, its so cute. Im also glad i finally got over the fact of the "I'moan" joke also so childish and I'mature, but hey I'm Naomi and I love it thank God and ma
my name is naomi to! :D ...I hate it when people call me nI'mi! it bugs me...haha..but I love my name :)
My name is Naomi too, I love having such an uncommon name, because i've only met about two other girls with that name. It actually annoys me when people pronounce it 'nye-oh-me' because I always get called Nay, not Nye. i've always been given other nicknames like, Mimi, Nomi, Naynomi, Naynayyyyy, and so many more, I really like Mimi but people just tend to call me Nay :-)
I am a Naomi of 43 years. I hate being called Nigh-oh-me. But people just don't see or hear it. It is a strange linguistic phenomenon. Someone will read my passport and say, "have a nice day, NIGH-oh-me," or I will introduce myself as Nay-oh-me and they will say "Oh, NIGH-oh-me, what a nice name!" Whatever. I usually don't even notice it anymore, but when I don't, my husband does!
My names naomi too :) and i absolutley love it!! people are always saying nI'mie and its like 'is there an i in my name❤️ no!' but it honestly doesnt bother me. I love how backwards its I'moan and from that i got the nickname moany, as well as a whole load of othe's including mimi, nomi, nomes, nay, nye, neomi, naonao (said nownow) and yeah, naomi rocks!!!
I am a Naomi. and for some stupid reason people often mis-pronounce my name n-eye-o-mee. That's not how it is said! I have found that in order to get it right I have to mis-pronounce my own name. I say "nay-o-ME" with the emphasis on the last syllable. For some reason that helps people pronounce it correclty. Strange. Also in elementary school, kids used to call me Wyoming to tease me (why is beyond me, I grew up in California). It was very irritating especially since my name is not pronounced that way. Old Southern people will pronounce the name Nee-o-mah. And hispanic people will pronounce it no-a-mee. So this name will teach your child to be tolerant and flexible. Beli've it or not, I still love my name. If you like it, that's all that matters.
It's lame when people pronounce my name "Nigh-oh-me" no matter how many times I tell them how It's said. Many of my friends just call me Nim. :)
I just lost my cat Naomi, she was my best friend for 13 years and died in my arms this week. I picked Naomi for her because when I got her I couldn't decide on a name, she was a beautiful tortoise shell with gold eyes and I wanted a name that was as beautiful, unusual and distinctive as she was. After a few weeks of just calling her kitty my boyfriend at the time said " I swear, that poor cat is telling you just "name me" already and I thought "that's perfect" so she became Naomi (pronounced Nay-O-me but mispronounced by just about everyone as nI-o-me)
It's funny that all the Naomis complain about being called NI'mi. I am NI'mi and I get called Naomi ALL the time. I emphasize the long I and they still go with the long A. What's even funnier is that in church, the preacher'started calling the Naomi in the Bible NI'mi after knowing me for a while. I guess It's either or and we can't have it both ways! :-)
I'm the'same person as the one yesterday saying is a knock off nicole. I'mean It's not a knock off nicole any more
We're naming our son that is due in a few weeks Kai. Having trouble with a cool middle name though!
Hi, i am naomi too! I actually call myself, n'air'mi i hate naOmi. Sorry. I love the name though, unusual but not absurd. Its so annoying when no one can spell your name right!
I think that Naomi is a beautiful name. My best friend hates her name, but I think she is lucky to have it. We call her "Nomi" or "Mia" (Pronounced My-a). The only annoying thing is we had to teach our teachers how to pronounce it correctly. xD I still love it, and her. It suits her, she is pleasant, helpful and honest.
I named my daughter Naomi, actually her dad named her and I agreed. We looked in a book and found the name meant pleasant. she is pleasant for our fifth child. She can wrap her dad around her finger better than anyone. This is "Naomi" (pleasant/delightful) to watch. Mispronounced often. Have met many with the'same name.
This is also my name. NAOMI GAIL
Hey My Name is Naomi and i get called NI'mi alot, i hate it, i also get called nay nay or princess any nay. i love my name !!! =)
My name is Naomi and I love the name. It's so unique and special. It's kind of funny because my mothe's name is Ruth soooo, yeah. People call me Nomi, Naya, Nay, Nay Nay and imoan. I hate that'sometimes people call me NI'mi. N-eye-mee I don't get hoow they get it confused.❤️
It's my name and I love my name. I have experienced the'same misspellings and mispronunciations over the years. My biggest pet peeve is when people call me NI'mi, I hate how It'sounds and I don't understand how people can get this sound from the'spelling but they do, they are lazy. Thankfully Naomi Campbell(supermodel), Naomi Wolfe(author) and Naomi Watts(actress) kind of changed that over the last ten years or so. Most people know how to at least say it these days. There were three Naomi's in my year at school so was popular in Australia in 1986 when we were named. I know another Naomi professionally too. My nick names include Nai,Nay's,Nomes,Nomi seems common among us. Our name is so beautiful and I love the name my mother chose for me. Being biblical makes it even more special to me.
i just had a baby girl and have called her Naomi. i love the name and have done for years however people can't say it or spell it half the time so i have to correct them.
Love the name got it from the bible. Her fathe's name is also from the bible Nahum and my name is Nicole. It's perfect!
My name is Naomi and people often spell it NI'mi. Or say it like this N-eye-o-me. Its quite annoying. But i love my name when it is said right. People call me Nomi
whats up with this❤️❤️!! why dont u just name your kid halloween!!! i known its cool and all to be diffrent but come on... people will egg you and probley call u 'the easter bunny!!'
Hiya guys guess what my name is Naomi lols to be honest im not realy bothered how people say my name because i will still anser toit. its still a unique name my family call me nim (like nim's ilsand haha) or nimi for a nick name i dont know y but it just goes. but i do get rather annoyed when people speell it wrong cos they usually spell it like 'NI'mI' i only get annoyed when its on a important things other than that im not fussed i wudnt change my name cos its me :)
My daughter is named Naomi and she loves it! We get a lot of compliments on her name. I also dislike it when people pronounce her name Ny-omi. I just don't understand how reasonable intelligent people manage to mangle an easy-to-say name, but we hear it all the time. I work with the public and have met at least 3 people with this name. They all say they like it too.
It's wonderfull to have such a nice meaning of my name naomi, (delightfull/pleasant). have any of you guys (other naomis) ever noticed that quality to make people smile in your life❤️ if not, You're going to discover It'sooner or later, because meanings of names aren't worthless, It's spoken over you every time someone says your name. think about that all you delightfull naomis!
my name is naomi oline because my grandma's mom was the'same name too. wow i didnt know there were alot of naomis
Hi All, The name Naomi is a Hebrew name and should be pronounced Ne-Oh-Mee. This is the way you say it in Hebrew and it means my pleasant. The letter "I" at the end of the name'signifies "mine" "my".
I love my name!! When i first wanted to be called summit other than Naomi i decided on Nai for a nickname...i dint want Nay coz its look too ordinary lol. I like my name coz its original and spells IMOAN backwards! how awesome! took me a while to figure out haha. lots of mis-spellings and mispronounciations - NaI'mie, nayomi, naI'moi(❤️) etc and so annoying when people call me nah-omi...! its NAY omi jeez lol. just ignore it now tho...only my closest friends call me Nai...! =)
I love my name. Sooo many nicknames, Nomi, The Nomester, Nomie, Nomb. Very unique. And I hope It'stays that way.
My Name is Naomi and i thimk that my name is class and it means Beauiful,Delightful and plesent and i am none of that but i like my name becase it is from the bible oh an d It'spell's imoan back wards and ido moan alot.
My name is Naomi. I did the'story of Naomi and Ruth for my bat-mitzvah portion. I think Naomi is a wonderful name. My nickname is Nom-Nom. Naomi is one of the uniquest names. I think that we are so lucky to have a name meaning delightful and pleasant. And for the Nye-omi part, Isn't it annoying when you correct someone and then'they don't change the way they say your name❤️ Once, I told my cantor she was saying my name wrong and she'said she was saying it correct! I was shocked.
hmm, well I'met a really nice Naomi, she is all the things the name actually mean.
I am currently pregnant with identical twin girls. They are due in 5 weeks, and my husband and I are planning on naming them Olivia and Naomi. I love the name Naomi, and only recently found out that it was the maiden name of my husband's grandmother, Rachel Naomi. I'm planning on using the pronunciation Nay-oh-me.
my is naomi but to many of my baby cuz is naomi for do not like the fact that my name is comman
My middle name is Naomi, It's okay. It's pretty cute I guess (:

hello everyone.. me also my name is Sarah.. and omg i love that name.. some call me soso or sisi but i Sasa it makes me more emotional.. and i love naomi.. well only this one girl..
My beautiful 10 year old daughter is named Naomi! I wanted her to have an elegant name. Her'sister and brother call her Mimi. There couldn't be a more perfect name for my little Naomi. I have to say though that it drives me crazy when people call her NaI'mi!!! She often introduces he'self as Mimi to avoid mispronunciation. Either way Naomi or Mimi are both beautiful names.
I know that the name NaomI'means delightful, but my little sisters name is Naomi and she is anything but delightful. Yes, Naomi is a kind of pretty name but delightful❤️ I'mean come on people with the name Naomi are not delightful. I'mean, hello.... Naomi Campbell❤️ Give me a break
My names Naomi and i woodnt change it ever!!Such an adorable baby name! No one else in my town has it, wich is fun! GO NAOMI'S!!
My naomi is naomi and i love the fact that It'spells imoan backwards, because i do. Ive had so many different nicknames including, ni, nizza, nomi, no, noonoo lol i love it. :) x
what a bunch of BS that a name would make a smiling baby or a talented track and football athlete, get a grip, children need love and support to be happy and successful and please, The Omen was "cool", creep, you shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.
Th is is my name for the unique orinal person bubbling within me!
