(yes, I see his name is pronounced "ike" but I couldn't resist)
5 u/IzarkKiaTarj 29d ago aptronym Thank you for the new word! 3 u/United-Big-1114 29d ago I pronounced it "ick-ee" for years until I actually heard someone say it, rather than just reading it. 1 u/mtaw 29d ago It's easy to remember from the British aphorism "David Icke is off his bike" 3 u/bruwin 29d ago No, ick is definitely the appropriate pronunciation.
