I've been thinking of both names of late, especially as I try and find compromises. Naomi I like quite a bit, but I highly dislike the America pronunciation of nay-oh-me. I pronounce it nah-oh-mee, and have heard it as such from Hebrew friends. However, I could live with former, as I really am liking the name. Ruth I also like, and have liked, for some time. I love the meaning, and its' history. It's a little harsh by today's standards, but I still like it.
Would sisters Ruth and Naomi be too much? What about sisters Ruth, Naomi, Miriam, and Judith? Those would probably be my top names at the moment, along with Nina. However, I'll never get to use Nina.
Please do not reply with a post that merely states I like/don't like. That isn't helpful in the least. I'd like to know why.
