    see, I think Noemi is a lot softer whereas the A in Naomi is a bit harsh. However, this is all just rainy day talk. I'm not considering it for a name.
    It is No-emmy and is a different name than Naomi.  Like you, I find it to be softer that Naomi and like it better.


    All that being said, and on the topic of discussion, my niece's middle name is Japanese - Naomi and pronounced Now-me.

    Behind the name says:

    Noemi: Italian and Czech form of NAOMI (1)

    Pronunciation: naw-E-mee (Italian)


    Edited to add: I personally like Naomi better.

  • I would pronounce it like it is in French - No-A-me - but I would put an accent on the "e" to make the distinction

  • To be honest, when I first looked at it I read it as Naomi because of the beginning and ending sequence then after realizing the name wasn't Naomi I guessed NO-emmy, but I see I was wrong.

    .....Genuinely curious, how are you getting that? There is no vowel combination in the first syllable that lends to the long "i". Is there a foreign language pronunciation I am missing on this one? I admit I am not familiar with the name. 
    This is just how i would see to pronounce it. But i looked on GOOGLE (because I see a lot of people who could get some good use out of that search engine)
    Anyways you can search name pronunciation and This name is pronounce No-emmy.

  • No-eh-mee. I say it in French though. I don't know if this is actually true but I always thought it was the French form of Naomi. We don't have a lot of Naomis here but we do have a lot of Noemis
