Hmm. guess I'm not the only one who doesn't know.

Best guess on my part was to pronounce it Neil.

Ni-aal is how I've been saying it.

I think Nial was coined in a JMS discussion forum (like many ship names were). Apparently 'Nova' isn't even considered totally canon...but its so widely accepted it may as well be that way.
