[Opinions] Nimue and pronounciation?
hey all,I came across the name Nimue again, and i love it. But looking at the pronounciation (NIM-oo-ay), i immediately think of the lion king song: "a nim oo ay, a nim oo ay, in the jungle, the mighty jungle..", etc etc. This made me laugh, but now i can't think about Nimue without singing the damn song! *grr* Do you think a child will be teased because of it? What do you think about the name itself?(also, a commercial with that song as a theme, won the first prize in our annual (sp.?) competition for best commercial, so that doesn't help!)

I alo like Nimue. It's pretty, rare, superb. Don't worry about the song, noone will associate the two. You're just overly sensitive because you like the name, and it's perfectly normal...

well I like Nimue and the song is actually " Uh Weem oo ay" so technically you are safe. ~Kai
