I don't mind the shoe company. They make awesome shoes! Anyways, I love this! It sounds strong, mighty and powerful! This is so cute, I just love this, while not sounding like a harsh name.

I actually kind of like this name, but I think that anyone named Nike would get teased pretty badly at school, so I would consider that before you name your child that. (not that I would do that, of course, but other people might.) The shoe company kind of ruined the name.

This is an awesome name. The fact that it's a brand name doesn't ruin it. It could easily be thought of as a name if it became more popular.

I’ve been pronouncing it ni-k (to rhyme with Mike) for years and no one has ever corrected me! I feel so lied to!

One of my best friends from elementary school was called Niké, which is the Hungarian form of Nike. I think it's a beautiful name and I would totally name my daughter Niké. And it's not pronounced like the brand name, it's pronounced "Neekay". Kinda. :D.

For our daughter (that we lost), we were going to pronounce it |nih-KAY|.
Besides meaning "(winged) Victory," the Greek goddess found on some trophies, it can also be taken as "victory," the word non-deified. Even its Latin-based analog, VICTORY < VICTORIA, can be used either way.
Many of the names of Greco-Roman gods can be used either way.

Nike Kornecki (born 1982), Israel Olympic salior
Nike Wagner (born 1945), German arts festival director.
Here are most of famos beariers of the name Nike. My name is Nika and I always wanted to know more about it. So I didn't want to believe that no famous woman would be named Nike. So I went on wikipedia and found some. By the way, I would gladly name my daughter Nike.

Sounds nice though the brand sort of, you know, kinda makes it unusable.

This is also, and unfortunately because it's a beautiful name, the name of a major athletic apparel company.
If Nike wasn't a shoe and clothing brand, and never was, this would be a beautiful name.

This name sounds really cool. Too bad that it'll inevitably be associated with the brand.

I don't really care for this name. It's kind of bland, and it's too heavily associated with a running shoe to be used in most places.

In the ancient Greek world, I think the brand company would have been in deep trouble and maybe even sentenced to death. They took their gods - and their names - very seriously.

Pretty name, but it's too bad about those connotations with expensive shoes and slave labour. Thanks to the corporation, hardly anyone (at least in the US) knows that Nike is anything BUT a brand name.
