A Name of Naomi for a Girl
Question
Hello, Rabbi, our daughter was born on 12 Nisan 5764. I wanted to call her Naomi, but my husband was not in favor of it, and we compromised on Noam. To this day I am still upset about it. My husband saw Rabbi Zamir Cohen's lecture... and came back and told me that if it is so important to me to change the girl's name, he supports it and agrees. I wanted to ask whether Naomi or Na'omi is, as I feel, a fitting name. Thank you in advance
Answer
Hello
Naomi or Naamah, recommended names for girls, were righteous women from the Bible: Naomi was the mother-in-law of Ruth, and Naamah was the wife of King Solomon. Make the change and addition of the name according to accepted Jewish practice only through a rabbi who is well versed in these matters.
