I had always pronounced it nie-O-mee pretty much my whole life until my niece named Naomi (Naomi Louise) was born (2011), and my brother and SIL pronounce her name nay-O-mee. I think I still prefer nie-O-mee, but nay-O-mee has begun to sound more normal and acceptable because of my niece. :P We're American, btw. If I had to guess, the 'nay' pronunciation is most common in the US. I can't say for anywhere else.

Would anyone be willing to pronounce it nah-O-mee? I think that's closer to how it's said in Hebrew, and I quite like how it sounds. Only problem is you'd be forever telling people to say it that way. :P
