I prefer E-Chee. Kind of gives it a continental air.
Ecky sounds like I'm saying "icky" like the site is gross or something. I've always pronounced it ee-cee, it just sounds better, and I think 'easy' is more apropos to the site's purpose anyways

Obviously a lot of people here haven't learned phonics. It's ECKY.

Omahan, please. Get into the 21st Century. Phonics were replaced by CD's and MP3's. I've got an old phonics player that I can't get rid of. Phonics. Give me a break.

If you look at the link above and scroll down to Becky's comentary, you will see that she says it is pronounced ECK-EE.
As the site name is actually "Escort Client Community Information Exchange" I don't believe phonics comes into play. Can you imagine someone trying to pronounce BBBJTCNQNS without spelling it out or explaining what each letter stands for? LOL
Bottom line, you can say it however you want.
I do come across more confusion when I pronounce it "Ecky" though. People are like, "Huh?"
Then I explain, "E-C-C-I-E" and they're like, "Oh."

In all honesty, in the beginning I'd sorta grit my teeth when I'd hear someone pronounce it differently than I'd intended it to be pronounced, but I quickly adopted the same philosophy that was just stated a few posts above mine....

I just call it pain in my ass.
that has a nice ring to it Elena,...
LOL Chris, I call everything that......I've called you that once or twice before. My point you gave me expired, am I due for another one?
It is pretty clear:

ECCIE rhymes with Becky

When you say "E-CEE" do you mean

"EE'-see" like "Cici"
"EH'-see" like "Bessy" Originally Posted by KCQuestor
