Great, hopefully this high-profile move makes them change their name into something that can't be potentially pronounced 8 different ways. Forge-joe? Or more like Jorge-ho?
- It comes from the Esperanto forĝejo meaning forge (noun, literally a site, ejo, where forging takes place). So soft g, and j as English y. /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/

  Not many names come from Esperanto so that's interesting. :)
  
  For anyone wondering, for a native English speaker, it's pronounced like "for-jay-yo".
  
  I think it's interesting but also still a terrible name. But I fear the time to change it is long gone.
- I've been pronouncing it For-ge-ho
  
  for as in the word "for",
  
  ge as in gecko
  
  and ho as in ho-ho-ho!
- I've always been a fan of for-ged-joe (like forget Joe, but with a d instead of a t)
  
  It's officially "for-jay-yo".
  
  Maybe it's more like for-gay-joe? Or for-gay-o? For-gee-o? For-gy-o? Who knows?
- I've always just read and called it forgero which always made sense to me. I never realised the letters were not those...
- Forgejo-jo-jo
- Depends on your language.
Please ActivityPub federation in Forgejo!!
- It's being worked.
  
  I knowwww
If it’s going to be a name from a made up language, it should be in Klingon.
- All languages are made up.
- For Esperanto probably nobody will want royalties :)
