Her NICKNAME is a combination of ニート (NEET) and 子(ko: child/girl) = ニー子 (Neeko). Her real name, as seen on the cover, is 新戸眠子 (Niito Nemuko).
Read more carefully before making accusations, please.
Whether or not it's her nickname, "ニー子" would not be romanized as "Neeko." I don't think I need to explain to you why. ニ is always "ni," phonetically and in all of the accepted transliteration systems. Anyone with any familiarity with reading Japanese names would read "Neeko" as the same sound as "ネー子", onee-san, etc.
It's not an accusation, it's a statement of fact.
I'll say it again, NEEKO is a combination of ニート (NEET) and 子(ko). NEET is spelled Niito in Japanese. Her nickname being like that is a reference to her being a NEET.
Besides, anyone who knows how NEET is read, both in English and Japanese, will read her name exactly the same way it is written in Japanese, Nii-ko, hence ニー子. Nobody will read it as ネー子.
