Noema?

General Name Discussion

Hey guys :slight_smile: Currently my favorite names are [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] and [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u], and my perfect future family consists of two boys and one girl. I’ve been trying to find a great, similarly distinct name to go with those two, but I’ve yet to find one I love as much. Also, since the other two are very [name_m]Greco[/name_m]-[name_m]Roman[/name_m]/mythological, I want something with a similar feel. [name_m]Just[/name_m] today I came across the word noema, from Greek, which basically means thought or the content of a thought. I think I really like it. (Plus it has the cute nickname “Nom” haha.) What do you guys think of it? Does Noema seem like a name to you? Also, how would you pronounce it intuitively? I say “no-emma”.

Alternatively, if you don’t like it, any suggestions? Examples of names I like besides my favorites in my signature:
[name_u]Roma[/name_u]
[name_f]Theda[/name_f]
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Cypress[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]

Thanks all.

Well [name_f]Neoma[/name_f] is a Greek name, Noema could be one, [name_f]Noami[/name_f] is a name and [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]… [name_f]Theda[/name_f] is nice too :slight_smile:

I quite like it, it resembles [name_f]Noemi[/name_f] so it’s familiar, and I like the meaning.

There’s also Moema, a name from the tupi native american tribe here in [name_u]Brazil[/name_u]. It means “she who sweetens”. I like it a lot and it’s pronounced the same as Noema.

There’s Moana as well, it has a similar feel to me. I like it a lot! And Naima, also a nice name!
