Wow, I'm a native greek speaker and I never made the connection Nike -> Νίκη; they're pronounced completely differently.

  I think you mean that _you_ pronounce them differently. I've heard 'Nike' pronounced in more ways than any other brand name; I myself pronounce it in at least two different ways.

    Really? I've only ever heard it pronounced to rhyme with "mikey". What other variants have you hears?

      In a number of countries I've heard it pronounced to rhyme with "Mike."

        Ironically enough, that's the way it's pronounced in Greece.

    Really? I can understand different people having different pronunciations, but you have two yourself? Based on your mood or something?
