HelpRe: Ruth and Naomi
in reply to a message by Siri
I like Naomi a lot, though I've never heard it pronounced the way you want to say it. In any area where there are few or no Jewish/Hebrew people, Nah-Oh-Mee is going to seem very pretentious, especially if the Naomi in question is also non-Jewish/Hebrew herself. I think I heard once that Nah-Oh-Mee is also a Japanese name, but I can't remember where I heard it.
Ruth I don't like, because it just sounds like a croup-cough or dog-bark, and also I don't care much for the th sound. If I had to use it at all, it would be in mn slot.
Ruth and Naomi as sisters is too much. It would be like brothers named Ernie and Bert, or siblings named Bonnie and Clyde.
Also, I think Ruth and Judith are too similar in sound to be in the same sibset.
Naomi and Miriam would go nicely.
Could Nina be an informal nn for Naomi?
