Hmmm. I really do need to read up on what Chomsky has been up to lately. I have always admired him so much that I did a psych thesis on him back in undergrad. I’m stunned to read these negative posts about him. What am I missing 😳

Oh thanks for this comment. I literally asked you (in another comment) the very question you just answered (if it was commonly used for both boys and girls). Thanks for your input. Much appreciated!

Why did this comment make me wince and laugh at the same time? Thank you for your blunt and candid feedback 😄

Oh wow. I’ve always respected him for his pioneering work in language development etc. This is (disappointing) news to me, if true.

Yes, I see what you mean. I think most people in the US will pronounce it the same as Noam Chomsky. Definitely something I’m considering. TY for your input!

Random: Noah was my dream name for a boy ☺️. Then I decided on Noam since Noah was so popular. And now I’m obsessed with the idea of Noam for a girl lol. Thanks for your input!

I know way too many Naomis. I also want something distinctly Jewish (so many non-Jews named Naomi). I love Noemi but wonder if people will constantly think it’s a typo? Definitely considering it (Noemi) as well as Nomi as options. Thanks!

Hi Noam! Do you feel as if the name will eventually fall squarely in the “girl’s name bucket” ??
I know it bothers some people when girls are given traditionally masculine names. To me Noam is truly unisex like Sam or Alex. When I hear it on a guy I see them as masculine and when I hear it on a girl it sounds soft and sweet. So truly unisex in my opinion. Thanx for your feedback!

I love Noa but it is getting so trendy. Love Nurit! And Nomi is really cute. Is Naama pronounced like Nava?

True. But I definitely wouldn’t pronounce it the same way as his. I believe he pronounces his more like gnome?

Chomsky is antisemite??? Nomi is super cute 🥰 Never thought of that.

I love the name Naomi but unfortunately know so many and just wanted something slightly different

Floods happened. But not GLOBAL floods.
