HelpRe: Naomi Shoshannah
in reply to a message by A
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.
