Oh just saw your update sorry!

So it would rhyme with "heavy" then?

LoveCauliflowerCheese · 22/03/2021 12:36

Could they maybe just have spelt Naihm (pronounced Neev) incorrectly? 🤷‍♀️

Magnificentmug12 · 22/03/2021 11:08

Nee vee

Probably wrong though

littleredberries · 22/03/2021 11:04

Sounds like that avatar language

Violetlavenders · 22/03/2021 09:51

Like Navigate. Without the gate.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 22/03/2021 09:25

I think I'd pronounce it "pardon?“

Chilldonaldchill · 22/03/2021 09:25

Navy.
It would need two Vs to be navvy.

tisonlymeagain · 22/03/2021 09:19

Navy

EmmaGrundyForPM · 22/03/2021 09:17

I think if I saw it my instinct would be to pronounce it "navvy" like a labourer.

Limpshade · 22/03/2021 09:15

Agh, the meme didn't post. It's in this article:

Limpshade · 22/03/2021 09:09

Were they inspired by this...? It went viral for all the wrong reasons Confused

Nah Vee

Firebird83 · 22/03/2021 09:00

Nay-vee, like Navy. It’s becoming a bit of a trendy name in the US at the moment.

Itsjustaride8w737 · 22/03/2021 08:54

I'd say Nave, to rhyme with cave.

MarieDelaere · 21/03/2021 13:12

Oh, so like N'Vee, with the stress on the VEE?

TeckanandMultra · 21/03/2021 13:08

Nah-VEE. Like c'est la vie.

RosesAndHellebores · 21/03/2021 10:13

Sounds like the issue of a one night stand in Portsmouth to me. Nevaeh would be marginally better Grin

Onlinedilema · 21/03/2021 10:09

Either Navy as in the colour, or Navvy as in slang for the Royal Navy.
Either way never heard of it. I do think Navvy is slang for toilet.

IstandwithJackieWeaver · 20/03/2021 17:45

@cantmovewont

Na-Vee - is that not another name for the toilet?
Isn't that lavvy or khazi?

Ineedaneasteregg · 20/03/2021 17:41

Nice meaning but sadly not what people in the UK are going to think of first.
I'd pronounce it like the canal builders.

Violetlavenders · 20/03/2021 17:35

Like short for Navigation system - Navie

Violetlavenders · 20/03/2021 17:34

Nah-vee would be spelt Navee (like Naveen without the n)

No I would pronounce Navee as Nav-EE with the emphasis on the second syllable

And Navie as NAH-vee with the emphasis on the first syllable

Violetlavenders · 20/03/2021 17:32

As it's written Nav-ie (Navv ee)

partyatthepalace · 20/03/2021 17:21

Navvy
