how do you say "Namie"?

so...is it "Nah-mee" or "Nah-mee-eh"? well, I say "Nah-mee" when I know its "Nah-mee-eh" because...i dunno, I guess I like it like that...well, do you guys call her by her actual name? or the slang name we would call her because it looks like its pronounced that way in English?

I say nah-mee-eh which is the correct pronounciation. I used to say nay-mee 2 years ago

It just wouldn't make sense to me to say "Na-mee" since I know her name IS "Na-mee-eh"....Now, if her name were actually spelled "Nami" then of course I'd pronounce it "Na-mee".

I've always called her Na-mee-eh, because...that's her name! However, I like to type her name "Nami" once in a while, because that's my host sister's name and it's a horrible habit. XD

I call her "nah mee eh", b/c that's what I'm used to hearing her be called. XD Funny, I'm listening to her right now. WoWa's been growing on me. I didn't like it in the beginning, but I saw the PV on TV last night and now i've changed my mind.

heh, I've always known her name is pronounced "nah-mee-eh", but I'm used to the english pronounciation of everything, so it actually took me a while to say "nah-mee-eh", even though it's pronounced the same way in spanish as it's in japanese
