This is interesting! A book in the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne has a pronunciation guide where "Bean Sidhe" was said to be pronunced as "BAN shee". I guess sidhe is "shee". I have a poor memory for pronunciation but I remember this one because of the "banshee"

I blinked. "You're a genuine Greek god. You're the Lord of the Underworld. And . . . you named your dog *Spot*?”
― Jim Butcher, Skin Game

At least Kerberos sounds cooler than "Here, Spotty, Spotty"
