[Opinions] Re: Naomi what pron. is better?
For pronunciation, how about Sinai? OK, it's a desert; but in UK and SA English, Isaiah is eyeZEYEa and in the States I think eyeZAYa; dunno which way you jump in Canada!We say nayOHmi here, but then we also say CLAHra - Afrikaans is a link to Dutch, German etc pronunciations and when I met my first CLAIRa I nearly tipped over. Her parents explained that they couldn't choose between Clare and Sarah, so they did a merger. They were British, fwiw.
