Me too, I find the nie-o-mee prn. much prettier than nay-o-me, which sounds harsh and old to me. I'm curious now too if I'm the only one who says it that way... I'll have to ask my friends how they say it.
It makes sense that you prefer nie-o-mee if that's how your cleaning lady
Naomi said it. But I've never known a
Naomi so I don't know where I picked that pronunciation up.
