I should have named her Carol...

Hey dawn! I happen to love the name "Naomi"! Who would have thought that people would take it apart like that? I think that with every name someone can find something to pick on! I hate my name too and wish my family would have picked something else! But, then again so does my Mom! So, when it comes down to it there are so many names out there that could have been so much worse for so many people so what are we supposed to do? Ignore your Aunt Rita and your daughter Dearra, Oh and how do you pronounce her name Dear ra or De air ra? I'll bet she gets lots of that! A beautiful name, but yet confusing!

Hi Nwad - Wadi? Waddy? No - Dawn is much more apt, and besides Alegna sounds dreadful. Naomi is a beautiful name and I am sure she loves it.

Poor girl, your family sure is hard on her. I wonder what they would say if her name was Carol. She could have been the Lorac. Isn't that a Dr. Seuss character?

What's a LORAC???

I am not sure which is worse or better... I moan or Lorac LOL I think she is much better with the name Naomi over Carol in my opinion...no offense to anyone with the name Carol but Carol to me is an older ladies name. My name backwards would be "Acissej" so I guess I am pretty lucky it isn't something like Melissa(my cousins name)

Hi Dawn, dearra's wit is outstanding. she's able to do it and think about her sister's name the backward way--amazing. i am just curious to know her reaction about it? CAROL is fine. i have some friends and even relative who carries that name and they love it. but naomi (not reading it backward) is far better for me. it has a greater impact. am i right in saying that you have three angels? naomi, dearra and cary?

No,no,no. My eldest daughter is called Naomi, it means 'comfort in sorrow', as she has grown she has become a good friend and support to both myself and her younger sisters. It's a beautiful name and Naomi's are very special people. Carol is just boring.

Car-ol? Lo-rac? Lor-ac? I don't get it.

hi dawnald that is a bit of fun. well yes I moan is much worse 'than lorac, which sort of sounds like some prescriptions the doctor has put me on. he he. But I sort of like Namomi my self too. Lets see my first name sp elled backwards would be eistap which again sounds like maybe a disease of some kind. Nope I don't think you should have called me Carol at all. he he he.

I think you're right Carol is a good name---it's also my name. lol

i THINK SHE HAS A PRETTY NAME & ONE U DON'T HEAR THAT OFTEN & I LIKE THAT. hER NICKNAME IS CUTE & I SEE NOTHING WRONG W/IT.

My son had a friend called Neil and they always called him "Neil,lean backwards" (which,of course, doesn't work when its written but it does when you say it) P'raps you should have called her Lil, Viv or Pip

P;aying with names is always fun but for children it can be hurtful. You can only guess what they were able to so with Patricia. Blessings At one time I did try Carol on for size, it didn't fit.

I prefer Naomi, the Greeks would be able to pronounce it. Carol doesn't translate at all.

Hello, Dawn. Well, Sandra backwards is 'ardnas,' which is probably worse than 'i moan,' as it sounds as if it could be something nasty, or maybe something from the animal kingdom. Any tips on how I could make my ardnas soft again, please?
