Re: Nike
in reply to a message by Lily
Here in the U.S. the shoe company will always overshadow the Greek name, unfortunately. We pronounce it "NIE-kee." I've never met anyone with this name.
I like the "NEE-keh" pronunciation of Nike. While I don't know for sure, I strongly suspect that's much closer to the Greek pronunciation than "NIE-kee."
Nike couldn't work here, but Nika ("NEE-kuh") could.
