How do you pronounce my screen name?

[nieh]

Dave got me all curious. Tell me! I command it.

[BREAK]

"Nigh". As in, Bill Nye The Science Guy. Never once have I thought of Monty Python and the Holy Grail when reading your username.

[Linda]

^^^What he said!^^^

[All About Eve]

Nyee-uh.

Edit: One syllablish, I implied that but Jebus made me think I should be more specific.

[Jebus]

knee-eh but said together as one syllable.

[Little_Miss_1565]

Ñeh.

[10 char is teh suk]

[Preocupado]

"knee-eh but said together as one syllable"

that's how

[bd007h]

nee-eh

A lot of people wonder how mine is pronounced

[Endymion]

as in "the knights who say ni"

[Rag Doll]

nee.

but i tend to just think *josh*, so i never really notice the screen name much now.

[Mota Boy]

"nee", spoken in the Mandarin fourth tone (think of how a small child yells "No!" and then take it down a couple notches).

[Paint_It_Black]

as in "the knights who say ni"

That's the one.

[wheelchairman]

knee-ya

kinda like the age old ninja attack "hiiii-ya!"

[barangatang]

NAAAY!!! like a horse.

[Tizzalicious]

The Holy Grail way!

Mainly because that's how -ie is pronounced in Dutch I think.

[Not Ozymandias]

Knee. I have no time for pronounciation decadence.

[Andy]

Actually, on closer thought, I think of it as someone agreeing to something after a period of deep reflection.

"Nee-yeah"

[Preocupado]

So, knee-eh, when are you planning to reveal the truth? I don't wanna dream with this question. (seriously, i've dreamt with the screen name thucydides already for the same reason)

[Jebus]

I would also like to know the origin behind the name Nieh.

[Nineteen Seventy Nine]

NAAAY!!! like a horse.

That's what I thought. Nay.

[T-6005]

Knee-eh, definitely.

[Nina]

nee!

(10&stuff)

[XYlophonetreeZ]

I liked 1565's pronunciation the best, and it's also the closest to how I pronounce it.

[the_GoDdEsS]

nee-eh, for sure here.

[JoY]

nee.

but i tend to just think *josh*, so i never really notice the screen name much now.
exact same. if I think about it, I just read it as 'knee'/'nee', or 'Josh'.

I could say it's Dutch to read it as 'knee', but I don't think I'd be the only one on a worldwide scale.

[Hux]

nee-eh

So how is it pronounced?

[Vera]

knee-eh but said together as one syllable.
Same here. It's basically how you'd read it if it were a Finnish word.

[the_GoDdEsS]

Same here. It's basically how you'd read it if it were a Finnish word.

And a Slovak word too.

[kamikaze]

I always just said "Nee"

[0r4ng3]

I say it as nee-eh, as others have mentioned.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Ñeh.

[10 char is teh suk]

Like that .

[The Talking Pie]

Nee.

Didn't he post once before stating that it was after the Knights Who Say Ni? I'm sure of it... though that might have been many a year ago.

[Tizzalicious]

I think he did too. Not all that long ago though!

[Mota Boy]

Nee.

Didn't he post once before stating that it was after the Knights Who Say Ni? I'm sure of it... though that might have been many a year ago.
Yeah, that's when I started thinking of him as "nee". I think before that I didn't really refer to him as anything, or at least it changed often. I vaguely remember looking at his screenname and musing how it was one of the few I didn't bother sounding out in my head.

[notoriousdoc]

I pronounce it "nyeh" but then, I'm British

[Nirushika6789]

I pronounce it Nee-a.
It's probably wrong but that's the way I say it :D

[Dmarques]

Nié....lol

[the_GoDdEsS]

Nie means no in Slovak. It always kinda reminded me. Whatta rebelz!

[Italia311]

NAYE....for neih...

I would have to say it in person really..

[Iddy]

Nee!.. in the sort of high pitched-ness of monty phython's knights who say nee! (or nieh... in this case).




:o

[Kerr]

Same pronunciation as "near".

[Paint_It_Black]

Same pronunciation as "near".

Only in a british accent.

[Homer]

nee-ya yeah.........

[Iddy]

Ahh.. Brits and their seperation of vowels :) *squeezes the nation*

[sKratch]

as in "the knights who say ni"
Correct answer.

[0r4ng3]

Ooh, can I be "peng" or "NEE-wom"?

[WebDudette]

I usually think nay. Kind of like the sound a horse would make.

[platinumpt]

naaaaieeee, in portuguese.

[Sinister]

I say it "n'yeah".

[The Talking Pie]

Ahh.. Brits and their seperation of vowels :) *squeezes the nation*
I'm surprised most people haven't read it as a diphthong and come up with a 'nee'-esque answer.

[H1T_That]

I usually think nay. Kind of like the sound a horse would make.

thats how i would pronounce it.
