I've been calling it cheeko too..Didnt know the right way  As for the other..I'd say Bry-tax also..(Edit: I guess I got that one right!)..

They should spell things phonetically !

I just learned that about Britax this weekend... The guy at BRU said it like that after I had said the name wrong like 50 times. Thanks dude...

Whaaaa?  I've been mispronouncing Chicco wrong this whole time. 

danto

Lansinoh

I say Lan-oosh.

Not even close I learned from their instructional video. It's pronounced exactly how it's spelled Lan-sin-oh with the emphasis on the 'oh'

I thought Medela was meh-DEHL-ah, but it's meh-DEE-lah

Apparently, I have been mispronouncing Chicco and Medela.

Non-baby related, I pronounce Cuisinart like cuis-in-air

Wow... nearly 2 years of mispronunciation. Gold star for me. 

Lyssapee

I say "chee-ko" and "Bree-tax"  I know they are wrong but that's how people in this area say them.  (I'm also in jersey maybe it's regional?)

Lyssapee

Everyone I know says "Meh-deh-la" too.

Yeah, I have a habit of only reading the first few letters of a word and breezing by the rest of it.  A friend of mine was also prouncing it Lan oosh (like the beauty line)

I pronounced it Lan-i-sul forever, so you're not alone.

I also say cheeko and I pronounce Britax as BRIT-ux, lol. And I say Ma-DEHL-ah.

Next, someone will be telling me that Graco is pronounced GRACK-o.... 

onislandtime

OMG I have been pronouncing ALL of them wrong - well except for Lansinoh because the nurse after I delivered corrected me...and all I could think of was "wtf ever lady, I just gave birth to a 10lb baby, I could care less if I said it right or not, just get me some!" lol.

KRMac

Yep, I say them all wrong too.  :P

 

ttimmerman

The guy at BRU said keeko, but I still say cheeko. I bet it drives employees there crazy! I also always said Brit-tax - I had no idea it was Bry-tax. Besides the BRU employee, I've heard no one in this area pronounce these or Medela correctly.

Ok, how do you say Avent?

I say "A-vent" like long A sound. Is that right?

I say it with a short "a". Like "advent" without the "d".

sleepingbeauty825

Wha the fuh??? Well I, for one, refuse to be educated.

That's because of your low socio-economic status. (And, I pronounced that "STAY-tus" in my head so that I could sound wealthier than you.)

BRIT-tax

Cheeko

Mendela: because I like to add letters to words.

Lan-i-soh: because if I'm not adding letters, I like to mix them around.
