HelpRe: Naomi what pron. is better?
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
I've always thought of Naomi as being pronounced nye-OH-mee (or nie-O-mee, same thing) and on the few occasions when I had reason to say the name (back when we had a cleaning lady with the name, as stated), that's how I said it. My entire family back then called her nye-OH-mee. That's what trips off my tongue. But just now out of curiosity, I asked three people who are in the room with me how they pronounce Naomi and they all said nay-O-mee. Huh.
I think that nye-O-mee is prettier in any case.

Me too, I find the nie-o-mee prn. much prettier than nay-o-me, which sounds harsh and old to me. I'm curious now too if I'm the only one who says it that way... I'll have to ask my friends how they say it.
It makes sense that you prefer nie-o-mee if that's how your cleaning lady Naomi said it. But I've never known a Naomi so I don't know where I picked that pronunciation up.

I have only heard of Naomi being pronounced nie-o-mee.... and yes, it's much prettier to me.
