Thanks everyone! I thought Nimue was the right spelling. But really wasn't sure! Thanks for clearing that up for me! You all are great! Have a blessed day!

Nimue. I've never seen the Nimui spelling, either in the Arthurian legend, or well anywhere. Nimui doesn't really make sense for the way Nimue is pronunced, since the name is Welsh and the E makes a different sound from E in English. Unless you are pronouncing Nimue and Nimui differently from each other? I have seen Nimue spelled Nimueh.

Nimue. Like others, this is the only way I've ever seen the name written, and Nimui looks like it's a different name altogether.Just wondering - where have you come across Nimui? Forgive my nosiness.

I seen it on another name site. I thought Nimue was the original way to spell it but wasn't for sure!

I've never seen Nimui and it isn't in the database so I really don't think it is right.

I've only seen Nimue. I pronounce it NIM-oo-ay. Nimui doesn't look like it would be pronounced the same way as Nimue.

Nimue. I've never seen Nimui, either in real life or in any Arthurian story. I prefer Nimue, since to me Nimui looks like a Japanese name with a different pronunciation.

I've only ever seen it spelled Nimue before.
