Re: What do you think of...

I don't understand where the Nie-omi pronunciation comes from, because I've heard it Nay-omi all my life. Maybe in another language/culture but not nearly as common as Nay-omi, so I think unless you are authentically of a culture that says Nie, you are being unnecessarily complicated by insisting on Nie-omi.
Naomi is very pretty. I don't much care for Shoshana, it's a hissing mouthful. Naomi Shoshana sounds very Jewish.I think, therefore I judge.

It's pretty 50-50 here. Some nay-OH-mee and some nie-OH-mee. If I saw it, I wouldn't know which way to guess and then once I learned the correct way, I would probably (and embarrassingly) forget.

When I asked here how to say the name everyone said Nie and hat Nay was odd. I think it's where you're from.

I've never heard Nie-.
I think Nie-oh-me is really odd.

I'm familiar with both pronunciations. N-oh-me is common within the Jewish community, nay-oh-me outside it.
