Well there's not a lot either way, but you're right, it seems split between the Japanese and English sites.
It's not a common name, no one ever says his name, it doesn't appear on the official site. I would guess that someone on each side made a guess (assumption) and everyone else on that side copied it. It's an interesting problem and may not have a solution. Our usual approach to this kind of situation is statistical: Searching for "直元" "ちょくもと" gives 24 results. Searching for "直元" "じきもと" gives 49 results. Searching for "直元" "なおもと" gives 7270 results. So I would go with Naomoto. But it's certainly not definitive.
