Help[Opinions] Re: Naomi vs Noemi
in reply to a message by Manipura
I very strongly prefer Noemi! It is a very graceful, feminine and warm name and I just like the sound. Naomi is bland, doesn't look quite as good and sounds much worse, and I feel neutral about it at best.
My default pronunciation of Naomi is nah-AW-mee, and I've only learnt quite recently that it's nay-O-mee in English and was very surprised at that. While I've always preferred Noemi to Naomi, Naomi with the nay-O-mee pronunciation sounds much worse. Noemi flows nicer.
