[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate Kiki. Kiki is hard for me to say, or at least sounds ugly when I say it. Gets caught in the back of my throat or something and sounds like Giggy. I do really like KK though which is somehow easier for me to say and also it sounds cuter.

There's also Keer/Kir which I think is super cute but also one of my favorite cocktails.

Really? I've never heard anyone say Kiki (Key Key) was hard to say. Doesn't sound like Giggy AT ALL. Do you have a lisp or accent? [/quote]

+1, my name is Nikki, when my little brother and sister were young, they called me Kiki, because they couldn't say the "n"...kiki was easy for toddlers. [/quote]

I'm the PP who has "trouble" with Kiki. Shrug. I don't have a lisp or anything and I'm American with a very neutral accent (raised in Alaska). It's just harder for me to get the K sound out crisply when followed by "ee" vs any other vowel sound. It makes Kiki sound muddled when I say it and yes a bit like "giggy." However not the case with KK, kicky, caca, or cocoa. Sounds like just me though but thought I'd mention it for OP.[/quote]
