Question

[Ryuyasha]

How do you pronounce the name cucco properly?

 

[Elvenknight]

I've always pronounced it cu-ccoo. Little like a coocoo bird.

 

[PhantomTriforce]

I pronounce it coocoo, as I think that the u should be pronounced like an oo as in pool and not as in book.

 

[Meego]

I've always pronounced it "cuc-coh."

 

[MartDiamond]

I always say it cu as in do and co as in go, so cucco

 

[MidnaOfTheTwili]

I say cuh-coo, because it seems and sounds right.

 

[Nicole]

Myself, I usually pronounce cucco like this:

COO-koh or KEWK-oh.

I believe the "proper" pronounciation is "coocoo," or "cucu." (Kew-kew, similarly.)

 

[Atheistbigred]

i pronounce it Kew-Kew as it should be pronounced kind of like "im Coo coo for coco puffs", i will in rare cases call them coh-coh.

 

[Azure Sage]

I pronouce it as "Kuh-koh". But that's just me.

 

[NorthApple]

I always presumed it was pronounced like the real life bird name, Cuckoo. (Kuh-kew... kuh as in "cut", kew as in dew).
...Better yet, I forget and call it a "chicken" half the time. It saves me the trouble of worrying if I'm saying it right XD

 

[Xinnamin]

I usually don't even end up spelling it correctly, let alone pronounce it correctly. My spelling will range from anything from cucco to cucoo to cuccoo to coccu to every other combination of the letters c, o, and u. Frankly, my pronunciations vary just as much, from kuh-koo to koo-koo to kuh-koh to koh-koo and every other combination of kohs and kuhs and koos under the sun.

I'm probably not helping much...

Based on the spelling it seems like it's supposed to be kuh-koh, but I hear kuh-koo far more often. Frankly, it doesn't matter terribly much since you can always say: "cucco, that crazy flock of maniacally homicidal deathbirds that appear out of everywhere and nowhere all at once". People will know what you're talking about for sure with a description like that.

...but for simplicity's sake, I just go with kuh-koo most of the time.

One of the ones Din didn't cover.

I've just always said "coo-coo," like a coo-coo clock.
