How do you pronounce Delphi?

Once upon a time there was an Oracle DB in Delphi language. ;) AFAIK it was fee-ending.
This statement is false.

Yeah, but Americans typically change the ee-sounds to y-sounds. Example : Nikon, Linux. So I am sure lots of Americans pronounce it as Delphy (y-sound).

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkDelphi is a Greek word that was always pronounced Dell-fai. is in the "Oracle of Delphi"[^]. The idea of an Oracle (define: oracle[^] is a ancient thing. There are notes on how the word is pronounced: The name Delphi is pronounced, in the English manner, as "Delf-eye" or in the Greek manner, as "Delfee" depending on regional accent. The Greek spelling transliterates as "Delphoi" (with "o" added).[^] So, if we were to be absolutely correct, it would be pronounced Delfoy.
