HelpWDYT of Naima?
A girl on one season of "America's Next Top Model" had this name, and I thought she had an incredible exotic beauty. She pronounced it "nye-EE-mah" (first syllable rhymes with sky). I only like it this way, not NAY-mah as I saw posted below. WDYT of Naima?

I think it's a nice name...not my fave, but not bad. the original arabic is pron. NAH-ih-mah however, which I prefer to both of the given pronunciations. (the ih is a glottal stop.)

I know it has some pretty cool history...
...Namely, that not only did John Coltrane marry a Naima, but that he also wrote a very cool jazz piece called "Naima."
However, all I can think of is ANTM's Naima, who was one of the stupidest, most boring, blah-de-blah people ever. I wanted to stab myself in the eyes every time her "My Life as a Cover Girl" spots came on during the next season. :( So I don't really like it.

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
