Its usually pronounced with a long 'a', 'nay' or 'neigh' like the sound a horse makes. But if its your kid you can say its pronounced however you want I guess

Naomi is an old Hebrew name, appearing in the book of Ruth of the Old Testament. Its meaning is something like:

pleasant, agreeable, delight, suitable, splendor, grace, beauty

And here is how it is pronounced in Hebrew: Naomi

You may not be pronouncing it wrong, since the same word can be pronounced differently depending on location, accent, and dialect. Pronunciation can change over time.
