If you are a Naomi or have a Naomi in your life, do people often pronounce it wrong and does it annoy you?

I prefer the traditional pronunciation with the emphasis on the first syllable but I think emphasising the second syllable is more common now. No idea why anyone is saying Nigh.

@SophieAnt ,me neither, and I think it's horrible. Shame, as it's a nice name.
