Niomi for a girl?

Niomi (Ny-omi) sounds nicer than Naomi (Nay-Omi) imo

I know a Noemi (Italian version of Naomi, pronounced No-Amy, she is from an Italian family) and she regularly has to spell her name and correct people who call her Naomi. To be fair kids get it right, it’s adults who get it wrong. I think the kids just accept people’s names as their names but adults have more of an idea of the name they’re expecting to see/hear so a more thrown by variants

If Niomi is the right spelling in your language or culture (like Noemi in Italian) then stick with it. Otherwise I personally would probably change it to Naomi. I’m my head I’m saying Niomi Nee-omi although I’m guessing it should be Ny-omi?

I think it's lovely. I wouldn't change the spelling.

Did someone actually say here 'deliberately burden your child'
FFS, she will not be burdened or scarred for life because her (beautiful) name has an unusual spelling.
My name (albeit common) has a different spelling and yes sometimes I have to correct people but it hasn't had an impact on my life
OP - trust the decision yourself and DH made with her name when she was born and just enjoy your DD, it goes fast and she will give you plenty more to worry about once she is walking and into everything

The woman has PND for gods sake, give her a break with all the unnecessary criticism.

Absolutely unfounded, this belief that unusual spellings make life difficult for a child or grown up....bullies make life for people, ignorant and mean people who have brought their children up to think name calling is acceptable make life difficult for others....not having a different spelling, not even having a totally made up name, this suggestion that one is inferior and blighted is absolute codswallop. Some MN characters need to have a long hard think about what they say here. Ridiculous.

Nope

Niomi is fine
