Help[Opinions] Re: Ruth and Naomi
in reply to a message by Siri
I suppose most well educated people will get the biblical connection of the two names - personally I didn't though :) So I don't mind them as a sibset at all.
However I don't like Ruth as a name, don't like the sound. While Naomi is extremely feminine and soft, Ruth just looks plain and boring next to it. imho.
Where I live Naomi is always pronounced Nah-oh-mee - and I don't like the nay-oh-mee pronunciation either.

I got the connection at once, having grown up Protestant. Went to church camp in the summer. Fairly Bible-literate.

Not well-educated
But religious - Christian or Jewish. And if a person is Christian they would have to be from a bible-based church, I think. Education has nothing to do with knowing the connection between Ruth and Naomi, but religion does. I have a broad background in the bible, so I'm going to get the connections.

I disagree
Sorry, I just thought that was an interesting comment. Sure someone familiar with the Bible would know it, but I think generally it would also be the well educated. Well educated to me means they have a good knowledge of all areas and that would include Christianity to me. The well educated people I know aren't necessarily Christian but would know the connection between Ruth and Naomi.
Maybe my experience is unusual *shrugs*

Yes, but I don't want people to think they're dumb because they don't know it.
Plus, it depends, I think. It's maybe a mixture?
