I have a friend who's last name is Cichoki. How do you think it's pronounced? :-)

4. If he's Polish, there's no telling
The pronunciations bear little resemblance to the spelling.

12. Is it Polish or eastern European?
If not, I'd say "See-choh-kee" or "Chee-koh-kee"

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.

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

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??
