Help[Opinions] Re: Ruth and Naomi
in reply to a message by Siri
I always forget that it's pronounced nay-oh-me, and not ny-oh-me.
Anyway, Naomi on another person's child, I would love. It's fresh, (at least to me), but not 'out there'. I am not a Ruth fan, at all, it just doesn't bring up a great image for me. My mom used to go to school with a girl named 'Rude Ruth', who was nn. in her late teens with the name 'Ruined Ruth' for reasons I decided not to know ask about =)
So, I like Naomi, Miriam and Judith, but not Ruth. Shame about Nina, it's one of my favourite's as well (but it's my dad's sister's name, so I'll never get to use it either)

I just wrote another message about this above, but I also pronounce it nye-oh-me. I don't personally think its incorrect, I've heard it pronounced both ways.
