Very pretty, though I personally prefer Shoshana to Shoshannah.

Love! I love Shoshannah and would rather see Shoshannah Naomi. :) I'm not a big fan of Naomi, but I think it makes a nice combo.

Both names are gorgeous and I love that you're using traditional spellings. Having said that, the combo has a repetitive three/three rhythm with the stress on the second syllable. That by itself isn't that bad since my favorite Naomi combo also has a three/three rhythm (Naomi Christina after my bff who passed away). Back to your combo, each name also contains three very open vowels and together, it's a bit much for me. Still, Shoshannah would be a mn that wouldn't be pronounced as often.
Overall, it's lovely.

That's fine by me since I don't think of Naomi as especially Jewish.
ETA that I know what you're saying because with certain names (French or Irish, for example), I don't like it when ethnicities are mixed, especially when a name is quintessentially French or Irish. It seems incongruent to me to pair it with a name that is totally the opposite of that (as lovely as it might be). Leonie Saoirse is an example of that. While I dearly love both names, I don't care for them paired together at all.

I love Naomi so much. I have no affection whatsoever for Shoshannah. To me it looks messy and sounds silly. But as it is the middle name, I can let it go. The combo flows well enough together.

I really like the combination, honestly. I think Naomi Shoshannah is well balanced and pleasant sounding.

Hate Naomi, love Shoshannah.

I like it! Shoshannah is a beautiful name that goes quite nicely with Naomi. I like pairing less recognizable names with more common ones. Naomi Shoshannah strikes a nice balance that's equal parts quirky and alluring.

I adore Shoshannah, and while Naomi isn't a favorite, I really like these names together. The combo has a heavy, very Hebrew sound to it, which I enjoy.

I hope her last name isn't O'Sullivan. lol
Naomi is very pretty. Shoshannah kind of is too but it's awfully hissy and shushy. Also, I find this spelling a bit overdone and would prefer Shoshana.

Beautiful!

I like this combo when I pronounce Naomi like 'na-o-mee' or 'na-o-MEE' (not 'nay-OH-mee' since that kind of spoils the combo a bit). However, I like Naomi Susanna more since it's not as overwhelmingly heavy as Naomi Shoshannah.

That's how I pronounce it.
