Yes and if the French prononunced it like it's written it would sound like Neek, which is similar to the french word 'Nique' which is a slang for fucking

Even with an american-like pronounciation (Nai-k) it could be used as slang.

I wonder if the greek says Nee-Kei~, since Nike is a borrowing from greek mythology.
