[Opinions] Pronunciation question
by BrittneyD
4/2/2008, 8:29 AM
I was watching TV this morning and heard the name Naomi. The person pronounced it almost as if the "a" was silent...NO-mee. I've also heard other people pronounce it Nah-oh-mee. I've always pronounced it NAY-oh-mee. Which one is correct or Is it just a matter of personal preference? If so, which do you prefer?
