This is why I'm naming mine something like "punch it!" that and if my autocorrect on my phone corrects it to stomach one more time, I'm just calling it that.

I say To Mach. I have no idea if it is correct or not but people know what I mean.

Hmmm, I hesitate to pipe in here. Don't want to destroy the mystery

I really like Toe Mash - we haven't pronounced it that way, but that may start being the nick name around the shop.

I'm sure this is obvious, the name was originally a play on "To Mach". I actually pronounce it "Toe Mach" when I say it.

But I promise I will not cringe if I hear the LCO call it "To Mach" or even "Toe Mash"

Tomato - toe*may*toe or toe*mahh*toe

Have you ever seen the lyrics to "Let's Call the Whole a Thing a Off" spelled correctly, not phonetically? It's kind of confusing what the problem is.

You say potato and I say potato
You say tomato and I say tomato
Potato, potato, Tomato, tomato.
Let's call the whole thing off​

Now only if we could figure out how do they get the caramel in the Caramilk bar.

My former professor Nike Arnold (a Naturalized German) definitely makes sure you pronounce her name correctly. She starts out each term reminding people how to pronounce "Nike" properly (it's part of your grade): knee•kuh

Living in Oregon, home of Nike shoes though, when we talk of the company we always say it: n•eye•key.

My Late stepfather owned a Porsche 928 (competition Orange) which he bought off the boat unseen: poorsh•uh
If you lived in Jefferson State, and you saw an orange Porsche, you knew that Sid was in town.

Nike - n•eye•k or n•eye•key
Porsche - Poorsh or Poorsh•eh(?)

If you ask Neil McGilvray, it's n*eye*k, but the rest of America says n*eye*key. The word is the name of the Greek goddess of victory. In Greek it would be nee*kuh, but we're not Greeks.

Porsche, in its native German, has the uh on the end. Names like Mischke, Loeschke, and Porsche all end with uh. But often in America you'll hear them converted to have an ee at the end. But nobody says Porsh*ee. Don't know how the uh-less Porsche got started.
