ArchivesNynyve / Ninniane
I'm reading my children Robin Lister's retelling of King Arthur. Nynyve is the name of the Lady of the Lake. Nyneve was a result of my search and it seems to be a variant of NINNIANE.
What is the pronunciation of each of these?

I can answer for Ninniane!
Ninniane is pronounced like Vivian, with n's instead of the v's. Viviane is actually a variant of the name and one commonly used for the Lady of the Lake, though the most popular name for her is Nimue, pronounced NIM-oo-ay.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, but Nynyve reminds me of Nineveh from the Bible.
