>>In French we said "Moy" (like toy or boy) so just one sound syllabe

i always thought you guys said it like mullah without the Ls.. which also comes out as one syllable.. (and is how i've been pronouncing this apps' name)


[edit] funnily enough, i just tried to see how my computer pronounces it and it says it the same way i do..

if you have a mac, highlight moi then right click->speech->start speaking
:)


[edit2] oh wait, i typed mullah as a spelling for the slang meaning money (moolah?).. i don't think 'Mullah' (Islamic guy) is the same pronunciation as i intended.. i'll stop now though.. this typing of pronunciations on the interwebs can get very confusing very quickly! :D

Yes but in French M ..O..I that makes like 3 Syllabes! (we are very lazy :D
Moi (moy) (like the sound inside "toy" makes only one syllabe and don't make the jaw's movement difficult! :)

I think, M..O..I sounds more serious, or technically.

Moi like in toy sounds more then moi love or moi car. Like it is my, but why not.

Here in SA we pronounce it Moy (toy, joy, etc). Seems natural as there is an Afrikaans word 'mooi' (also toy, joy, etc). It means pretty.

Yeah, M.O.I. sounds more like three letter bands that where popular a little while ago..

You haven't heard of M.O.I.? Awesome solos!
The Stewart Copeland of control points.

I think the weirdness of the name is good. It creates a buzz. Remember when everyone asked what the heck does "Google" mean?

In northern Germany they greet themselves with Moin.

Pourquoi pas MoI.

I still think this would be a good strap line in France, Canada and other Francophone countries. It is a good pun.

Je pense toujours que je peux obtenir des redevances pour cette idée! (Je plaisante copains!)
