How do pronounce Naomi?

[Anonymous]

My grandma used to butcher that name. She pronounced it knee-Oh-muh.

I think most people say nay-Oh-mee, but it’s not uncommon for people to pronounce it as nye-Oh-mee.

I say Nay-oh-mee.

He says Nye-oh-mee.
He drives me nuts.

He's right though.

I think it can be pronounced either way, so neither one is wrong.

Nicknames:
Omi
Nay
Nay-nay

Another variation is where it comes out as Nomi.

This is why we didn't name our kid Aaron. DH and I couldn't agree on pronunciation! Also, Erin for a girl was out because he said it's pronounced exactly like Aaron, and I said he was crazy. Regional accent variation.

You don't pronounce them the same? How do you pronounce them?

Can you explain the different pronounciations?

And please don't say Ay-Ay-Ron.

It’s already a short name—no need for nicknames.

Haha I was thinking that but no, I pronounce Aaron as "Ay-ron" and DH pronounces it "Aah-ron." And he pronounces Erin the same way whereas I pronounce it "Eh-rin."
