Pretty sure it's pronounced "Nuck" and not "Nuke". not sure if that leaves your team's naming method in shambles
You're actually both wrong :P It's pronounced "Nook"

Source 1 - Nickname originates from his liking for the Nuk pacifier brand as a baby: https://vine.co/v/eViFOeMJgbF

Source 2 - Nuk commerical pronounces it "Nook" (closer to "Nuck" than "Nuke" though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb9gg8U1nMg

Ive been told its Nuke, and laughed at because i pronounced it Nuck at first. So we def need some clarification here.
Hopkins got the nickname because of pacifiers he liked as a baby.

The appropriate way to pronounce it is ‘nook’.

Yes the pacifier is pronounced Nook. Technically. But everyone has always pronounced his nickname as Nuke, going back to his college days. His twitter handle is NukDaBomb as well, if that gives u any inclination as to how he pronounces it himself.

I would pronounce both Nook and Nuke like “Nuclear.” Are we saying Nook is like “Book” with an N? Typically double “oo” is a drawn out sound like an owl “hoots.”

Are we really surprised Nuk is pronounced that way? We live in a society where many people believe 'woke' is an adjective.

I see it now for sure. I was trying to follow the debate and was totally lost because I read it in my head with the same pronunciation (which I do think was at least somewhat reasonable). Not above looking dumb though, lol.

Also, yes, please come quickly football season

I’d rather see threads about rhyming than anymore on Damien Williams and Tyreek Hill.
