My nephew Skyler currently pronounces his name “Niner.” Since my name also has a tricky “k” sound, mine comes out closer to “Enen.” Obviously this makes him even more adorable.  If I ever write a children’s book, “The Adventures of Niner and N.N.”  will be the title–and this* will be the cover shot:
