Noemi

CalicoBelle · April 2013

I LOVE this name...but, am I the only one? Everyone keeps shooting it down when I mention it.

Manderlin923 · April 2013

Dumb question- how do you pronounce it? I thought it was no-em-ee but then I heard it as naw-em-ee. Subtle difference but I prefer the first way.

neverblushed · April 2013

I like Naomi much better.

CeCe8579 · April 2013

I don't like the pronunciation.

I'm willing to settle for Naomi.

Owlbelovingyou · April 2013

When I first saw it, I just thought it was Naomi spelled in a different way.

I would suspect that she would probably have to deal with correcting people on how they pronounce it.

I like it - definitely wouldn't side eye it.

SmileyJay · April 2013

Naomi is much better IMO.

Noemi is far too close to Naomi that most people when reading it quickly the first time will just assume is is Naomi.

I would pronounce Noemi as "no-em-ee" and I don't really like how that sounds.

BulgariHeart · April 2013

Pretty! Pronounced No-em-ee around my parts as well.

I like it and considered it for our daughter. I think it is a beautiful Hebrew name. I stopped telling people what we were naming our daughter because of the mixed and negative reactions we were getting. If you like it, name her it!

Love Naomi, not a fan of Noemi. Naomi would've been high up there for us, but DH said it "nigh-omi" and I was saying it "Nay-omi" so we just kinda scratched it.

hologram87 · April 2013

when I first read this, I thought it was no-me (like the character in Showgirls). After reading how it is pronounced (no-em-me) I think it sounds like "no whammy" like from that game show Press your luck.

I like Naomi a lot bet

kje120 · April 2013

Not a fan. To me the pronunciation would be butchered on a daily basis.

blu-eyedwife · April 2013

Maybe it's because I know a Noemi, but I really like it. As far as I know she's never had difficulty with pronunciation or people thinking her name is Naomi.

I prefer Noemi to Naomi because it has a softer sound.

firsttimeauntie · April 2013

It's the french pronunciation so it seems totally normal to me although maybe weird on an anglophone

CeCe8579 · April 2013

The only pronunciation I found was Naw.E.mee!

June2007 · April 2013

I had a coworker with this name but everyone always mispronounced it as Naomi. I actually like Noemi better but it was annoying to me even that people couldn't pronounce it right!

CalicoBelle · April 2013

Naw-em-ee <shudder>

I've never heard it pronounced that way but, I definitely don't like it.

Kfran84 · April 2013

I would have pronounced NOmee.

I would have missed the separate em part in the middle.

I like it but I think it would constantly be confused with Naomi.

Spookster · April 2013

I think it will be a cause of confusion with Naomi.

hecklet · April 2013

I have a best friend named Niomie (pronounced Ny-O-me) which I love. I also have a friend who is dating a girl named Noemi.

I prefer both Noemi and Niomie to Naomi but all options, I think, are very pretty names.

Cheekers2010 · April 2013

Noemi is the Spanish version of Naomi. That's why you pronounce all the syllables. No-Ay-Me. I like it and I love the nn which is Noe (No-e).

GrayGhost13 · April 2013

Maybe it's because I live in an area with a significant Latino population, but Noemi doesn't seem at all unfamiliar or confusing to me. When I worked at a dance school about a decade ago, we had at least two little Noemis.

I think it's pretty. <b

ayamw · April 2013

Random alert: Remember back in spanish class in HS where you got to pick your "spanish name"? I was Noemi for 4 yrs of HS Spanish class and love the name, but always was called Naomi off the bat. I prefer Noemi to Naomi as well.
