HelpRe: Ruth and Naomi
in reply to a message by Siri
I like Ruth and Naomi both--and maybe I'm just weird, but I've always been inclined to say nye-OH-mee, which I suppose is closest to your pronunciation. I don't think they're terrible together--after all, they're themey, but they're also a nice theme, IMHO. :) They're perfectly good Biblical characters, after all.
Ruth, Naomi, Judith, and Miriam don't sound too heavy together to me. I dig them.

I generally say nye-OH-mee too - I used to think it was just the New Zealand accent, but I've heard of NZ girls named Naomi who pronounce their names nay-oh-mee too, so I'm not sure what it is. Regardless, I prefer the nye-OH-mee pron. myself.
