I have always loved my name. Even though I used to get "nye-OH-mee" a lot. I get "NAH-oh-mi" too, as some Japanese people see it as the Japanese Naomi.

Naomi:
Nay - the most simple. I prefer Nai though, from NAomI. :)
Nay Nay
Nomes and Nomesy (said just like 'gnomes') - mostly from people who have known a Naomi before.
Mimi (mee-mee)
Nomi (like 'gnomey') - young childrens favourite when trying to say Naomi.
Amy - because people often think you have said Amy when you actually said Naomi, and then it sticks.
Naomo "nay-OH-moh"
You can't beat random nns that people will come up with, like: Noonoo/Nunu (nuu-nuu like in NOOdles), Noodles and Nalumi (because Naomi sounds just like Nah-loo-mi :P). All apparently based off Naomi.
Mina is a new one to me. So is Omi and Nao. Though Mina is better imo.

I have only been randomly told by one person once that Naomi is 'I moan' backwards (after they saw it in that movie or whatever). No one thinks of names backwards, and it relies on changes to the division of letters and sounds. I asked a friend what is Naomi backwards and i got "IM-oh-ayn".
