I've known many who pronounced it "Neena" but only one who pronounced it
"N(eye)na"

I only knew Neenas until we began to travel in America. Most of the
N(eye)nas were in the mid-west.

My daughter spelled my granddaughter's name "Deena" because she didn't
want anyone to mispronounce it D(eye)na. Dina gets the same treatment as
Nina. g
