Had to ask because [name]Naomi[/name] has been ALL over the forums today. Noemí is my favorite name for a future daughter (and the ONLY one the fiance and I agreed on…) but I’m seeing [name]Naomi[/name] so much that I’m wondering if this version is better. If I named her [name]Naomi[/name] the family would call her [name]Noemi[/name] because of the Spanish influence, but I don’t know if [name]Naomi[/name] seems more like a name that a girl could grow with… Any thoughts?
I much prefer [name]Noemi[/name]. [name]Naomi[/name] is a beautiful name too, but [name]Noemi[/name] sounds softer to me. Maybe I don’t like the “yomi” part of [name]Naomi[/name].
I don’t think one version is “better” than the other. I’m sure the reason you’re seeing [name]Naomi[/name] so much here is because that’s the English version, that’s all.
Obviously, I [name]LOVE[/name] Noemí (see my signature), and I think both names are perfectly fine as far as growing into an adult.
[name]Both[/name] are beautiful, I prefer [name]Noemi[/name]. I like the potential of [name]Noa[/name] as a nickname, and I like the “No-eh” more than “Nah-yo.”
[name]Naomi[/name] is the Biblical spelling so it’s probably the version that is most familiar to English speakers. However, if your family is Hispanic and/or you live in an Hispanic area, then I think [name]Noemi[/name] would be the best option for you.
I’m with [name]Mischa[/name] on this. If you’re Hispanic or if you live in a Hispanic area, do [name]Noemi[/name]. The reason why [name]Naomi[/name]'s more familiar to English speakers is because it is the Biblical spelling.
I like both [name]Naomi[/name] and [name]Noemi[/name] and I was so undecided so I had to look up [name]Naomi[/name] and [name]Noemi[/name]. I prefer [name]Naomi[/name], but I don’t pn it Nah-yomy, I pn Na-ohmi, without y. [name]Noemi[/name] is pretty, and as I say, I was completely undecided.
I prefer [name]Naomi[/name] as a name, but if your family is Spanish and going to call her [name]Noemi[/name] then you may as well go with [name]Noemi[/name].
