Naomi is usually a girl's name in Japan, spelled like 直美、尚美、奈緒美、直己、etc... I don't think it's a typical Japanese name though.

う、うしお・・？

Not to mention the most famous ナオミ of all, the woman in the novel 知人の愛 by 谷崎潤一郎! But that character was named that as a reference to the Western name. I wonder if the name existed as a Japanese name before the novel came about! My wife's name (Jessica) didn't exist until Shakespeare invented it.
