Naomi (m)
in reply to a message by Perrine
Definitely Naomi. I love that it is a name in many cultures including Japan. Plus I love all four pronunciations, I am not 100% certain which is my favorite but probably nay-O-mee. Its vibe is cool, cute, spunky, sexy, and laid-back all rolled into one.
I knew a Naomi in middle school/ high school pronounced nay-O-mee, she was very nice to me even though we had different interests. She was best friends with Kiyomi, Josie and Mahogany were best friends and the four of them were close friends together. Kiyomi and Naomi left in 9th or 10th grade but came back in 12th grade. I always liked all four of them, they had a nice not mean "cheerleader" vibe. They would always encourage you when you needed cheering up. I was also kind of a "cheerleader" but I was friends with the geeks/ nerds and the punks.
I've always preferred the pronunciation SAR-ə to SER-ə so I also prefer the spelling Sara since Sarah is only SER-ə. I like Sara and dislike Sarah. I prefer Mara and Clara to Sara. I slightly prefer Sara to Lara, and I prefer Lara to Tara. These are all with the AR-ə rather than the ER-ə pronunciation. Oddly I prefer Cara pronounced KER-ə, probably because it reminds me of the word care while KAR-ə reminds me of cars/ motor vehicles. Also I only like TER-ə when it is spelled Terra.
I like Rebecca about as much I like Sara. Very different feeling to both of them but I like them both. Sarah and Rebecca have a similar feel to them but I dislike Sarah.
I used to love Salome so much it was in my top 20 for a while but these days I only borderline like or feel okay about it. Salome is my least favorite of these unless you pronounce Sara as SER-ə.
