[Opinions] Re: Naomi?
in reply to a message by Flash
Could be worse - my best friends names is Natasha, which spelt backwards is "ah, satan"! Even worse, her parents are Ministers!
I don't think that most people notice backwards spellings (just like how most people don't know that a certain name doesn't have a really nice meaning - by that I mean, the majority of people don't hear the names Courtney or Cameron or Claudia and say, oh, that name has such a nasty meaning). I doubt that it would end up effecting the kid much - I've known Tash for years and we only realised the ah, satan thing later on in College when we were really bored and trying to make acronyms of our names - it wasn't like people went around making fun of her for it.
So, that rambling narrative was just to say that I doubt many people would notice the unfortunate hidden message behind Naomi! And even if they do, hey, kids are always going to tease. Maybe its better if there is something obvious to be teased about!
