Not Updated For Current Season

Leona is just annoying, especially vs Nami. Once she hits level 6, it will be quite hard vs Leona. Though you can easily out trade Leona in early game (again, before 6). If she tries to engage, go for aqua prison on the adc - if you cannot get the adc, use your q immediately on Leona. This may be able to guarantee a kill on Leona, and if not; she will most likely be backing out with low health. You can also be able to AA Leona a lot easier since you have that range advantage!!
Rell
I just hate Rell in general when I am playing Nami, her cc is outright annoying. Though, you can easily outpoke her. Especially if she jumps in for an engage, you can aqua prison her then AA. Also, do not be scared to AA Rell at times either, but do your best to play back vs her and pick safe engages.
Pyke
Another extreme match up for Nami is Pyke, his movement speed will be better than yours, and it will be hard to out poke him since he can passively heal. The best way to play vs a Pyke is to dodge and play back while trying to exchange smart trades with Pyke. Usually vs a Pyke, I would recommend getting mobility boots asap.
Nautilus
Another hook champion. Play very passively against a Naut, and like Blitz; play behind the minion wave if possible. Stay out of the range of dredge line.
Thresh
Thresh isn't as bad as extreme threats could go, though he is still a major counter to Nami in my opinion. You have probably read this already, but dodge the hook! Stay out of the range of his death sentence and flay; considering his flay just adds an extra threat to the lane.
Rakan
Rakan is pure annoyance - especially when you're playing Nami. You need to time your bubbles and ult. Though Rakan's laning isn't strong, he can still set up pretty decent engages vs a champ like Nami.
Alistar
Very aggressive support champion, and also can set up decent engages for the enemy adc. Before level 2, harass him as much as you can with W and AA.
Swain
This might just be personal opinion when it comes to a threat and maybe just a personal threat when it comes to my Nami, but I completely dislike Swain when playing Nami. His grab and pull are very threatening, and after level 6 he will deal more and more damage. All you can do is dodge, dodge, dodge. Harass him as much as you can before laning phase is over.
Caitlyn
Caitlyn's range is very annoying, and she can out poke tremendously. My advice is to harass her with your W and AA, while still being able to set up decent engages with your Q / or if it comes down to her support setting up an engage, try to disengage her from the fight with your Q.
Varus
Varus's poke is good, you want to do your best to poke him back. If he is fed, get Mikael's Blessing - especially for his ult.
Brand
Brand does a lot of damage. Set up engages as much as you can for your ADC, and focus him in a 2v2.
Maokai
He's not really played as a support anymore, but I have seen him occasionally. Watch out for his sapling toss, because they can easily burst you down and he has the upper advantage with it to harass you. Try to out poke or trade evenly as much as you can.
Tahm Kench
Just like Maokai, I do not see the catfish often in the support role anymore. Just try to stay back from him, and harass him since you have a far more better range advantage.
Morgana
Her black shield in my opinion is really the only threat of a Morgana vs Nami. You can easily poke out Morg with W, AA, and Q. Just watch out for her roots.
Zilean
Annoying, he has cc - but if you can dodge his stun, you can easily trade with Zil.
Seraphine
I generally hate Seraphine as a support, but you can easily out trade her after you wait out her E. You have a better engage advantage with aqua prison.
Lux
Dodge her q's, engage as much as you can, and poke her whenever you're able to.
Yuumi
You can easily out heal Yuumi early game, especially with her mana restriction. Just out poke her when she is dethatched from her adc.

Pyke
I love playing with amazing Pyke's, maybe it's just my ideal and opinion based; but Nami and Pyke can do SO MUCH together, once Pyke can get his hook and stun off, you can immediately use your Q for an insane amount of CC. The healing in the bot lane can also be crazy with these two, Nami can easily use W on Pyke after he passively heals himself. Nami's ult is also good for Pyke as well, especially for him to finish off a kill with his. They can EASILY dominate bot lane together and out trade so much. Though, I know it is an off-meta duo; I love these two together. (I only recommend this with a GOOD experienced Pyke player, or even better a GOO Pyke main).
Caitlyn
Caitlyn and Nami can deal great damage together, especially with Nami's E and Caitlyn's headshot. They can create a very annoying lane together. R and Q combos also can help Caitlyn with combos as well to finish off kills.
Draven
Your E can just up Draven's damage immensely. Your ult along with his can also be a deadly play. Good duo together for sure.
Tristana
Trist's jump with your E can cause lots of damage together. Trist is just a damage dealer in general, these two are very good together.
Jhin
Jhin and Nami are also a great bot lane duo together. His Q and Nami's Q are good cc. 4th shot and Nami's E are also great together.
Lucian
Very great together, 10/10.
