Help[Opinions] Re: Nina
in reply to a message by Tuesday
But the Spanish word is spelled differently (accent above the second N) and it is also pronounced differently NEEN-ya, instead of NEE-na (Nina). I studied Spanish and the word never reminded me of the name at all because of the very different pronunciation and the different spelling as well.

I'm aware, it's just still what I think of.

Ahhh I understand :) To me that is not a problem because it's not a negative word or anything like that. I also doubt that most Spanish speakers would think of the word. At least I had a girl named Nina in my class and she tried to tell our Spanish exchange students that her name meant girl in Spanish and they didn't get it because it sounds so different and then she had to write it down but even then it wasn't exactly the same, but they understood :P I once met a girl named Ninja pronounced NEEN-ya (like the word) but spelled like ninja :P that was odd to me personally.

Yeah, don't let my silly associations bother you! That's good that it's not a problem for Spanish speakers. I figured they'd avoid the name but it's cool that that's not the case. :)
Ninja, ha! Makes sense though!
