Comments for the name Gomer

Gomer Pyle was the dim-witted army private in the old T.V. show of the same name. He was played by Jim Nabors.

Gomer Pyle is also on the Andy Griffith Show.

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.

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.

This sounds like the name of an old man that shoots kids off of his yard. Can't imagine it being a girl's name.

Pronounced Goh-mehr.

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).

I would never name someone Gomer. The child would be made fun of. It's too "southern" and is ruined by the tv character Gomer Pyle. Just my opinion.
