ArchivesRe: The name Kine
in reply to a message by Kine Hoff
Kine as used in Norway most likely derives from Kristine, Katrine, Mikine and similar names with phonetics that lend themselves to it. That is what the entry is there for. Baby name sites with that origin are probably copying, but for more research oriented sites, it's the same because it is onomastic consensus.

To be honest with you, anagrams as names are pretty rare. Not impossible, but rare. If someone liked Nike, they would probably just use Nike. If it were the case we might see more circumstantial evidence like anagram names becoming popular, or the name Nike itself becoming popular.
Many name books and merchandise like cups will distort the truth or outright lie to you about your name to get you to buy them - especially merchandise. If you recall the name and author of the book, maybe we could check it for veracity.
Unfortunately the origin of a name doesn't really come down to whether you like it or not. It's perfectly possible that your parents gave the name to you intending it as an anagram of Nike. That is fine but until we get evidence of this being widespread and that being the origin, we can't put it on the site.
