Or...see if player would like noak as nickname....ninja as a nick would work too, but still too easy to slip

 

[ronpolk]

Kuh-neye-guh?

I’m not sure. I have not watched a video of someone pronouncing the name…. But I think most (maybe all) words with kn… the k is silent. Maybe someone who did better on English section of the ACT can correct me.

 

[PooPopsBaldHead]

This is a level 1 Shuqualak situation... You add 3-4 letters that aren't in their and ignore several that are... It's pronounced the same as Kennedy.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Call it as you see it.

IF you're a black announcer....if you're white, not so much **

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

You get an offer from WV, but go lower level? WTF?

[OopsICroomedmypants]

This guy made it, why would Knigga have difficulty?

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

 

[Big Dawg81]

I Noah Knigga just like this

 

[The Peeper]

I can just hear

Bless their radio announcer

I can just hear Jack Cristil now....

 

[Tall Dawg]

When he got old enough to slap his parents…he should’ve cold cocked them for naming him that.
And, I don’t give a flip if he may have been named after an ancestor or whatever.

 

[Herbert Nenninger]

UPDATE: Apparently Paula Deen has been named their new play-by-play announcer.

 

[Shmuley]

[Darryl Steight]

I can just hear Jack Cristil now....

Or Howard Cosell**

 

[NukeDogg]

I'd say KUH-NYE-GAH - hard K at the front and no short i sound

 

[Anon1704414204]

I did some research and the term originated from the ancient Phoenicians where the first letter "K" actually meant "My" and was used as a term of endearment i.e. close friend who can always be counted on.

The word is also seen in pre-Civil War Lafayette County Mississippi court documents quoting land owners in disputes over human chattel where the "K" is actually replaced with "My".

 

[MagicDawg]

I once knew a gentleman from Knoxville named Bob Knigge. Pronounced "Kuh-NIG-gee." It created some difficulty in the area for people who didn't know.

I would go with kuh-NEE-gee (or even safer, KUH-nee-GEE with two emphasized syllables) -- until I was specifically told otherwise.

 

[patdog]

If I ever have to say his name out loud, it's Knight. Noah Knight.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Just like we would say Coach K at Duke, we need to call him player K, or K Dog.

I had an Asian client in a call center whose first name was pronounced "17" and last name "You". I always used his first and last name and all surrounding co-workers always LOL'd.
