As we have a mixture of nationalities and languages, where people may say it differently based on their local culture, what is the official way on how to pronounce the new name?

Koh-dee

or

Code-Eye

or another way?

[jammyb]

Oh dee. The K is silent.

[topfs2]

Don't forget the x, its pronounced as "phk".

[Mettbrot]

Haha this actualy reminded me of something

[Karnagious]

You pronounce each letter like in XBMC.

So Kay-Oh-Dee-Eye, or kayodehi.

Someone else mentioned another slight variation that puts a slight pause between the ko and the "d", coo - dye.

Honestly, all of them are blending together in my head, and I don't know what to call it anymore :)

None of the possible pronunciations bother me, but I know some people were off put by a name that sounds like Cody, so meh, whatever.

With the likes of YouTube channels who will want to cover this - I think that if the XBMC Foundation can come up with what is considered "the" way to pronounce it, then it will help enforce the new name, and ensure that everyone knows how to say it, and not make people think that it's multiple products

KOH-dee / KO-dee / k(o)-di http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/kodi

and the meaning of Kodi is "helpful" according to http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Kodi


But since XBMC = XMBC then must mean Kodi = Kdoi?

[Ned Scott]

I predict that Kobi will be the typo of choice for Kodi ;)

[h.udo]

Kobi Briant?

[Dark_Slayer]

Kobe beef?

I say it like that.

[un1versal]

kodeee is how I imagine myself saying it outloud.

Next, turn kodi into a verb and get it added to the dictionary.

[steeb]

I see myself pronouncing it as:

Code - D

If we cant vote on the name, we can atleast vote on the pronunciation. This gets my vote
