I'm learning Hebrew, and the spelling of this name appears to be an exception to the rule that vav following another letter indicates the vowel o or u, while the absence of vav, yod or ayin indicates that the vowel (if present) is either a or e. Also, in Hebrew, this name is pronounced go-MER.
This name never really struck me as being all that feminine, even though it's used as a girl's name in the Bible. Nonetheless, I like the name because of its association with what I consider to be a very romantic story. Way to go, Hosea!On another note, Gomer is one of the sons of Japheth, and is the ancestor of the Ukrainians (among others).
Gosh, this is one butt-ugly name. It sounds like the name of some cranky old man, and it reminds me of Homer, and thus Homer Simpson, too much. I can't imagine this very harsh and masculine name on females.
My friend and I did a study of the name Gomer. It means more than complete. The ORIGINAL hebrew meaning actually means completely as in over or done, failed or failure; not just complete.
