LAEL it's fantastic!
Neomiah is one of my favorites :-)
It was the name of a guy I used to work with a loooong time ago. I totally loved him - I mean, not in a romantic way but in the way that... how do I explain it? I admired him, he was just so cool. Very Samuel L. Jackson, you know? Slick, smooth, charming. Went by the nns Neo and Nino.
God, he was seriously the coolest, ever.

Yah, I check this a while ago in my old roommates Bible, which had both Nehemiah and then Neomiah in parenthesis next to it. Neo had a time-punch card so I saw how he spelled his name as well - Neomiah. I'm not really religious at all so I don't know what the common spelling is or how many versions of the Bible there are but that's just what I saw.
