    A girl in highschool whose name was Nazanine went by Nazi (Nah zee). Like, why? Your name was beautiful.

      I don’t have an issue with that depending on where you are. It’s a nice name but lends itself well to a shortening of nahzee. In my area of the US and in the UK they often pronounce Nazi as Naht-zee so I don’t think it’s as bad as it could be.

        Yeah when she said it, it wasn’t as bad because this was in Canada and we pronounce it like you guys do, too. It’s just that she actually SPELLED it that way. It was so weird.
