Re: Naomi, Salome, Rebecca or Sara? (more)
If I had to use one, I'd choose Rebecca, because I like the sound of it, and I've known a few.I like the sound of the others as well, but...Naomi: I'm less familiar with it than Rebecca and don't feel any particular connection to it.
Sara: I've already known so many (dozens) that it seems bland.
Salome: It sounds really weird with my surname, plus the biblical story is a negative association for me.
For someone else, I think I like Naomi most, for the same reason I wouldn't pick it (I'm less familiar with it than Rebecca), and it has a better meaning imo....or maybe Salome would be my favorite for other people, if I lived in France (since it seems much more popular/familiar there); I usually love names that mean "peace".

I like the meaning of Naomi too! Yes, Rebecca means 'tie, snare'. I am never sure about how to interpret this meaning. Ties tie things together which is nice, as in a close knit family. But I don't know if it is meant to be interpreted like this...
