Wait, it's not pronounced like that?

[-] nadiaraven@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

No, it's pronounced in two syllables, as so: "Ni-key", with the first syllable pronouncing the I as in the word "I". It's named after the Greek goddess of victory.

Ok, i pronounced Nike wrong for entirety of my life. Thanks for info.

I like pointing people to how they pronounce "Penelope", it's a similar thing. Although calling people with that name ~"Penny-Lobe" would be fun!
