A person who hates certain names or particular names: There have been nomomisists throughout history who have abhorred certain names; such as, John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater, in Washington, D.C. on April 14, 1865; and Adolf Hitler, a German politician who was the Führer of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945 and who was responsible for so many deaths of people in Europe during World War II throughout the territories Germany controlled; especially, Jewish people who were in concentration camps.

According to some surveys, the primary name that nomomisists dislike the most is Nevaeh, which is "heaven" spelled backward; objections include "look, sound" and its "origin".
