(The shoe/sports-wear company) I say N-eye-key or N-eye-keys , cause i see people say N-eye-ks. So, how do you pronounce it?

[quote] Aryls : N-eye-k. Just a hard k at the end, no 'key' sound. That's how we pronounce it in England. [/quote] Are you pronouncing it N-I-K or Neye-K

[quote] Omelet : Are you pronouncing it N-I-K or Neye-K [/quote] All one syllable. N-eye-ck. Say 'hike,' and just replace the h with an n. Hike ~ nike.

[/quote] That's because the company takes its name from the name of the Greek goddess of victory in Greek mythology, Nike, and I'm pretty sure English =/= Greek. EDIT: Ninja'd

[quote] magixren : Nike is named after a greek goddess . It's Nye-Key. not Hike with a N. [/quote] Fair enough. I'd bet money though that 98% of people who pronounce it with the 'key' didn't know that though and just had bad pronunciation.
