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

Nigh-oh-mi

Neigh-oh-me

Although I have a cousin called Naomi, and because we couldn’t pronounce her name when we were little she’s now called Nomi.

Nye-oh-mi. I had a friend at school with this name and she always pronounced it this way.

Nay-Ome-ee (dublin)

I'd pronounce it nay - oh - mee

I'm from the NW

Nay o me

South east

I've heard both but think the Nay-oh-me pronunciation is nicer

I was at school with a Naomi in the 80s and we all called her Nye-oh-me so I always assumed that was the normal pronunciation but as an adult I've realised that isn't the case (I've no idea what her parents called her so it's possible that her name was unintentionally butchered by all the teachers/kids as none of us had come across the name before!)

Nay-oh-me

Where do people get the y sound from? It's not Nayomi?!

Naomi is Na oh mi imo.

Would you pronounce potato pot-at-o or pot-ay-to?
Na-o-mi doesn’t sound right at all!

True, potato is pronounced po tay to but tomato is to ma to

Is Naomi never pronounced Na oh mi?

I'd say to-mar-toe rather than to-ma-to with a short a.

Neigh-oh-me. I can't f**king stand it when someone pronounces it nigh-oh-me. Where are they even getting the i sound from? It's literally the letter a! It's right there! Are they pronouncing Zoe zu-e as well? God if my name was actually Naomi I'd just be in a constant state of rage.

FWIW I don't know anyone actually called Naomi who pronounces it with the i sound instead of the a sound.

Nay-oh-mi. In Scotland There’s not ‘I’ so it’s not Nigh-oh mi.

Most people call me Ni-omi though, I can’t be bothered to correct everybody so as long as u don’t call me something stupid like Nay-mi it’s fine.

tiramisu1 gaol is the english spelling of jail. The 'ay' sound is used in that word just as people use it in pronouncing Naomi

I say, taking lead from name owner, eother
Neyo me
Or
Nay Omi

Ny oh me

Gahhhh I have a Naomi and it's definitely NAY OH MI

NOT Nigh oh mi

Gets on my last nerve!

She pronounces it Zoe.

Scottish here, Nay Owe May is how id pronounce it. but ive heard other pronunciations as well.

Nay oh me

I say Nay-o-me. I have a distant relation with the name, the family have Margot from The Good Life accents and they seem to pronounce it nomeh

NAY-a-mee
