What is your First thought on the name Naomi.

Ready GO!

Ps do you pronounce it NAYomi? Or NYomi?

Just curious! TIA!!

Habs2Hart · March 2013

I love the name. I think it's really pretty. I prefer to pronounce it Nay.

jgengo0 · March 2013

It is nms, but a fine name! It is different, which I like, but people still know of it.

I pronounce it NAY-omi

eyris · March 2013

I like it.

I've heard it pronounced both ways so I wouldn't assume it's pronunciation until someone told me how they wanted it pronounced.

Allisonz0312 · March 2013

I like it. I'm a big fan of names that are uncommon, but not totally off the wall.

Personally I would say NY.

ravenclaw1 · March 2013

You illustrated why I'm not a fan of the name. I don't ever want confusion as to how to pronounce my kids names.

Angelbaby117 · March 2013

I pronounce it NAYomi, probably because I had a friend growing up that pronounced it that way.

magdalina.h · March 2013

I like it and pronounce it as Nay

This exactly. I've actually never heard of it pronounced NY-omi. Could be a regional difference, maybe?

daileym · March 2013

I would pronounce it Nay. It's NMS, but it's a good name none the less. It's not too common but not too far out there.

tbw8664 · March 2013

It's a nice name. Not super common but a normal name. I think most people say NAYomi. I think of the character from 90210. It's usually a pretty person that has the name so that a bonus!

kje120 · March 2013

I pronounce it with the 'nay' sound. I like it.

PrettyInPearls23 · March 2013

It's NMS but I don't think it's an awful name at all. I say it "Nay"

Chilko33 · March 2013

It is not my fav, but it is a nice name. I pronounce it as NYomi.

This.

katiebenes · March 2013

nay oh me.
And Campbell. the actress. that's the first thing I thought

blinnea23 · March 2013

It's my sisters name so my opinion may not count but I like it. We pronounce it NAY. But some people read her name and say NY

Tshae2432 · March 2013

I love Naomi!

EMLYNNLERETTE · March 2013

Nay. I do like it, but I wouldn't us it as my name, nms.

This is the whole reason I asked!! Thank you. I love the name but I hate when people mispronounce my name...

thedash · March 2013

Love! I think NAY is more common. We are using the Spanish version as a MN if we have a girl.

Mbaddas · March 2013

Thank you all so much! Hub and I like it it fits with our other girls names.... But still on the fence! Ill show him your responses!!! Xoxo

jaimejohuff · March 2013

That will be my baby girl's name!! In memory of my Grandma. : love love love it!

Juicy71 · March 2013

I like it and it almost made our list but it's one my SIL's names so a no-go. And I pronounce is Nay.

CNS1212 · March 2013

My niece's name is Naomi (pronounced Nay - omi). We call her Nay Nay. Love the name because it reminds me of her and she makes me smile! I never would have thought of the name before her though!

LaSraOrtega · March 2013

It's NMS, I always think of Elizabeth Berkley's character in Showgirls. I would pronounce it NAY, never heard of NY....

psychgirl33 · March 2013

I love it. It was on my list, but MH vetoed it. I say it NAY-omi.

bmhocking · March 2013

I love the name as well

cvl105 · March 2013

I think it's a nice name, not my style though. I say Nay-Omi

achadwick19 · March 2013

Nay and nay

DonnaMartinGraduates · March 2013

I really like it! I say NAYomi.

kat81again2 · March 2013

I love the name, but it is tough to choose a name that can be pronounced two ways. That is our main reason for leaning against Cassandra (though we could still pick it yet).

I used to go with NYomi, but a good friend of mine is NAYomi, so now that's what i default to.

luminousbluestar · March 2013

I love it and pronounce it NAY-omi.

staceymack · March 2013

NMS but I like it.

konaeyb · March 2013

I love that name! I pronounce it NY..

I wonder if the pronunciation depends on where you live!

MJHershey · March 2013

I love that name!! Honestly I have heard it pronounced both ways but I think I say NY-omi. I think you're going to have a lot of different answers depending on where peple are from, dialect, accents.

ejs207 · March 2013

Nayomi and I like it. Had a dear, dear friend in college named Naomi so definitely positive assocation for me.

This. And i think of her constantly beating up her assistants, throwing phones, etc.....

Yup. Except I think it is a beautiful name!

Jenny5o4 · March 2013

It makes me think of the movie that says "Naomi... That's Imoan backwards"

Paturkey · March 2013

I like it! I know two and they're both NAYomi. One goes by Nay as a nn. Never ever would it have occurred to me to say it NY.
