[Opinions] Re: Nina Pronunciation
in reply to a message by Nina
If I wanted to be called 9-uh, I'd change the spelling to Nyna. I actually like Nyna... I know it's made up but it's simple and I see it as distince from Nina, not a variation. Then people wouldn't be able to call you Nee-nuh because it wouldn't make sense with the spelling Nyna.
If I wanted to be Nee-nuh, I'd stay Nina and make the announcement of "I'm changing my name to Nee-nuh for clarity" or whatever.
Have you met his family? If not say "Hi, I'm 9-uh" when you do (even if he has already said "this is Nee-nuh").
Don't go by your mn! I don't like Lorraine either, and Lorraine/Lorayne and Lauren is a confusing sibset. If I were you, I'd either keep Nina "9-uh" and keep correcting people who can't say it, or I'd change it to Nyna.

other spellings?You could also use Ninah if you like the "i". This one would remind people of the pronunciation because of the name Dinah.or maybe Naina (or does that look like nay-nuh?)or just correct people!
