[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kids has a name that can be pronounced two ways - like Naomi as Nay-omi or Ny- omi. It currently bothers him because he doesn’t like to correct people but has a very clear preference for one of the pronunciations. He’s asked us to call him James instead. I hope he gets over it. I love his real name.[/quote] I have a friend named Thea who has this issue (she pronounces it Thee-ah, but she gets Thay-ah and Tay-ah as well). I don't think it's hugely upsetting to her, but not ideal. She told me once that it's mainly only annoying when people try to argue with her about it, and explain that she's pronouncing her own name wrong. Which does sound annoying but also: who does that?[/quote]
