As long as Noemi is prn no-EH-mee, it's my favorite, though I like Naomi too.

I prefer Noemi. No idea why, sounds better.

They're both gorgeous. I prefer Naomi because I think the pronounciation is more intuitive. Noemi is more unusual and I think a lot of people would comfuse it with Naomi, which is pretty common here.

Naomi because Noemi has always seemed awkward to me.

Naomi's more natural to me and standardized, but Noemi's ok. I like the sounds for Naomi better- whether said Na-o-me, Nay-o-me or Now-me. It's prettier.

NoemiThere are few names I like where the long "o" sound is stressed. Naomi has always sounded so awkward to me. Noemi is much more elegant.
