Why?

Stichintime · 16/07/2021 19:54

Nayomi, but why? Lovely name as it is.

VimFuego101 · 16/07/2021 19:54

It's a lovely name spelt as it is, and is the expected spelling, so your child will have to constantly correct people if you spell it differently. Why do you want a different spelling?

Touloser · 16/07/2021 19:54

Naomi.
That's it.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 16/07/2021 19:55

Noémi

it's Hungarian

NakedAttraction · 16/07/2021 19:55

I think the french use Noemie, but pronunciation is different.

amission · 16/07/2021 19:56

Just spell it properly, why do so many people feel the need to butcher names to be speshul.

Brian

ThatsNotMyReindeer · 16/07/2021 20:01

Pnaomi. The P is silent, like in pterodactyl and pesudomonas.

titchy · 16/07/2021 20:02

Or Knaomi? Silent K as in knife. Or Gnaomi. Silent G as in gnome.

BillyBearSpam · 16/07/2021 20:03

Niomi?
Nyomi?
Niome?
Nyome?
Niomey?
Nyomey?

Etc etc

Depends how you are pronouncing it, the above are all Nigh-oh-mee rather than Nay-oh-mee

JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue · 16/07/2021 20:03

Nayomi.

Have never seen it spelt any way other than Naomi, but you asked for alternates ... I like Brian.

DamsonJammyBastard · 16/07/2021 20:03

Apparently it's spelt נָעֳמִי in Hebrew. Just a tad tricky to pull off in the UK tho.

Why are you looking for an alternate spelling?

Uramaki · 16/07/2021 20:03

If you search it on Wikipedia there's a list of it in different languages

kylie122 · 16/07/2021 20:04

What's wrong with Just Naomi that's the prettiest spelling

DamsonJammyBastard · 16/07/2021 20:04

I've just thought of the actress Naomie Harris. Stick an E on the end? Seems a bit pointless though.

Puffalicious · 16/07/2021 20:04

My niece is a Naomi - pronounced Nay- oh- may (like Naomi Campbell) but many, many people insist in calling her Nigh- oh-may. I'm sure it's preference and both are used by different people, but THIS will be your main issue not the ruddy spelling. Don't piss about with it.

She also goes by Mimi to her family, which I love.

Why do you need a younique spelling? If you like the name spell it properly

Toottooot · 16/07/2021 20:07

Nyomay Nevaeh - there you go

Whysolong7 · 16/07/2021 20:12

Honestly- why?

Two things will happen. Everyone who meets your daughter will assume she has thick parents who don’t know how to spell the name correctly and messed up when the birth was registered.

Two, she will have to spell her name laboriously every time she gives it out - massive ball ache.

If you like the name just spell it right, like you do the other words you use.

MaMelon · 16/07/2021 20:12

Nyomay Nevaeh

That’s pure class that ❤️

Uramaki · 16/07/2021 20:14

Niomi from your other thread doesn't look right to me.
