I am just wondering how you pronounce it?

That's my Mom's name. It's pronounced Nye-Na. But I have only ever heard it pronounced Knee-Na whenever I've come across another Nina. So I am wondering if the way we pronounce her name is unusual or is that commom?

I could see it being pronounced like you are used to in other countries or cultures. I like the sound of it (Nye-na) it's pretty, but in the US at least, it is definitely Knee-na.

My grandma always was one to be different. So was her Mom.

The Nina I know is Nye-na.

I feel like it’s like Andrea. I know three different Andreas who each pronounce it differently.

I’m in the US and I’ve only met one person with the name in my life but she pronounced it Nye-na.
