How do you pronounce Naomi?

[Beetie1]

DP and I are compiling our list and both have Naomi but pronounce differently.

Is it 'Nigh-oh-mi' or 'neigh-oh-mi'?

Or are we both wrong

I've only ever heard Americans say neigh, I've only ever heard it pronounced nigh

I'd say it nay-uh-me unless corrected. I have head it with the emphasis on nay-OH-me but I wouldn't automatically say it that way.

Nay oh me

I really dislike Nay OH me

South East

Nay oh me

Nigh omi - I’m from Scotland.

Tbh I though nay omi was the American pronunciation.

Nay-Oh-Mee

I say nay-oh-me but have heard both. I’ve also met people who insist on pronouncing it No-Amy, and one Naomi who renamed herself Nayhomie...

I have a Naomi and I use both versions. Now that I’m trying to think about it I can’t workout which one I actually use. I’ll comment back when I’ve worked it out

I read it as Nayohmee but have come across both pronounciations so wouldn't assume.

I’d pronounce it ne oh me -northern. Don’t choose it.

Eh? you dont know how you say your dd's name?

I've seen quite a few threads asking this. It's always a mixed response.

But since you asked, Nay-oh-mi.

Neigh-OH-mi, but have heard NEIGH-ah-mi, Ni-OH-mi and NEIGH-oh-mi so think you have to be prepared to hear a lot of different pronunciations if you choose it! Every variant is lovely though.

Nay oh me - I’m Australian

Nigh.

Nah-omi, like it's spelled but with very little emphasis on the first syllable.

Neigh oh me

It’s a really fabulous name and completely underused. I love it!

Nay oh mee here. Never, ever nigh. Nigh oh mee is a completely different name with a different spelling.
It’s actually a totally phonetical name so I can’t see how some people pronounce it nigh?

Nay o me

Up until a few years ago I would have pronounced it Nigh oh me - I grew up in the north where I think this was typical

Since living down south, and having met a few Naomi's, I have changed to Nay oh me - as that is how they all pronounce their name!

Naomi - Nay-oh-mee
Niomi - Nye-oh-mee

Nay oh Mee. One of my friends has a little Naomi and it is a gorgeous name for a gorgeous girl.

I’d automatically say it as ‘nigh’ as I knew a ‘nigh-oh-me’ in school.

However I’ve since met a ‘nay oh me’ so I’d try to hear the person/parent say the name and copy that!

Nay-uh-me. So the middle syllable is uh instead of oh.

nay o mee
