Pronouncing "eccie"

Monk Rasputin's Avatar
How do we pronounce our name? Is it "ESSee" or "ECHee" or "EKKee" or "EE-SEE-SEE-EYE-EE" or what...?

This is the kind of thing that keeps me awake at night.

I've been wondering the same thing. I've just been spelling it out or saying ECHee.

I like "EE-SEE" Reminds me of Niecey, as in "Niecey get yo' ass in the house!"

If it was "ee-chee", the board motto could have been "Veni, vidi, eccie" (I came, I saw, I came again).

I was thinking EE'-see like "ici" in French meaning "here".

At first impressions, I thought it was a practical joke; “ick” is a common ailment that a tropical fish suffered if you did not take good care of it, or if it was stressed.

Hi Kat!
C'mon now, everyone should know this! It's pronounced just like it is in the Monty Python movie! "We are no longer the Knights who say "Ni!", we now say, "eccie, eccie, patong, neeewhooom, avum"
If I ever had to say it out loud (which I don't think I would) I'd prefer to use "C.I.E" as a nickname. Three letter acronyms are a comfortable/catchy mouthful and it's only one letter away from C.I.A. which is kinda cool in a completely nerdy secret-decoder-ring sort of way.

Thanks for the other suggestions, but I've decided that it's pronounced Etchie LOL

Just as long as you don't say "itchy"!
I vote for Shmafty's version! Very clever.

Now that you put a new spin on it..... it's perfect!
