Na-me-eh ... since I know she's Japanese I pronounce it that way haha.

I swear, it's like Hikki is the only one I call by her last name haha... I just find Utada easier than Hikaru :shrug lol. And that was before Exodus, so I wasn't influenced by that.

Oh well haha. I'd find it weird to call Ayu, Hamasaki, or Ai Otsuka, Otsuka lol.

Nah-mee-eh:yes but for people who don't know any japanese singer ect. Nah-mee because it's easier for them ^_^

rikku411 27th January 2008 06:17 PM

Even if I didn't know any Japanese etc, I think I would've said Na-mi-eh... cause I also speak Spanish xD

Nah-mee-eh

But only when I conciously trying. Sometimes I just say Name-ee because I'm lazy. :P

Nah-mee-eh
The other one is for Nami.

Weird... Nah-mee is so much easier to pronounce, but I think it's Nah-mee-eh.

CHE.R.RY 29th January 2008 03:47 AM

Definitely the first option xD
Although I could see why someone would think it was the second option.
I try to always stick to the original pronounciation of foreign words unless it's much too diffiicult to pronounce. But Japanese pronounciation is pretty easy to me.

Her first name isn't the problem for me, what I'd like to know is if I'm pronouncing Amuro correctly. It's "ah-muu-row" and not "ah-myoo-row," right?

Aggar 19th February 2008 03:56 PM

I call her Nah-mee although I know her nah-mee-eh.

Ryuuzaki 20th February 2008 07:18 AM

Nah-mee-eh

Ah-muh-roh. No rows or ows or ays or myus.

na-mee-eh

ak.malfoy 13th March 2008 12:50 AM

At first I was pronouncing it as "Na-Mee" but after hearing the voice from one of her single CM's I heard it pronounce as "Na-Mee-Eh". It took a while but now I'm used to saying "Na-Mee-Eh" :)
