I don't care if I'm "wrong", I call it "N-World" for ease of use. It rolls off the tongue marginally easier than pronouncing the "Eee Ennn" separately.

Understandable. For the record, I find it easier to refer to you as "eeeeeeeeeee" rather than "Elephant". Fewer syllables for me to pronounce.

I have a friend who pronounces Gencon as "ghen con" as in ghengis khan, not Gen as in generation (or geneva). It's a bit like fingernails on a chalkboard to me so I can see where Ennnworld would be similar.
Heh. I always pronounce it like Jengis Khan. Considering that the alternate transliteration most commonly seen is Chingis Khan, I figured that that's much more likely.

The dictionary lists both as valid for English. I haven't yet looked up what it would actually be in Mongolian, but that's the kind of linguistics nerdy thing I would do.

In this a great debate rages between those who know the truth of the E.N. World, and those heretics who would decry it as En World. The powers that be have clearly taken their stance on the side of truth, justice and apple pie!
And extra syllables!
