How would you pronounce this name?

[Archae]

I have a friend who's last name is Cichoki.

How do you think it's pronounced? :-)

[WillParkinson]

1. Well, I'd guess...

The "C" is like an S. Sa-choke-E (long e)or Se-choke-E (long E)

[Archae]

2. Nope.

n/t

[wildhorses]

4. If he's Polish, there's no telling

The pronunciations bear little resemblance to the spelling.

[Montauk6]

8. My Polish guess

CHINT-skee?

[rbnyc]

5. Chi-Ko-Hee ????

Even close?

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Smith.

[Radio_Guy]

[Tikki]

10. Psycho-key....just guessing...

[gollygee]

11. See-Coe-Kee

Coe rhymes with Hoe

?

[Benfea]

12. Is it Polish or eastern European?

If not, I'd say "See-choh-kee" or "Chee-koh-kee"

[Bunny]

13. cuh-CHOK-ee

[Strong Atheist]

14. Well, how are the following words pronounced?

[jmowreader]

15. I know exactly how it's pronounced

"Hey You."

Having long experience with seemingly-unpronounceable last names, I guarantee that this person gets called "Hey You" all the time.

[crispini]

16. Chee - cho - ki?

That's what I'd go for, anyway, I'd sort of Italianicize it, in the absence of any other clues.

23. Brazillian

[Elidor]

24. Since you won't tell us, I dub him 'Chicken Choker'

Just because I can.

[Shine]

25. LOL! I have a first name like that. Nobody EVER knows how to pronounce it.

:eyes:

My guess on this one: "Si-Choke-ee"

I'm normally pretty good with unusual name pronunciation, since I have such an unusual name myself...I guess it comes with the territory.

So, what's the right answer?? :shrug:

Do you even know??

[u4ic]

26. That would be my guess, too
