nginx ("engine x") is an HTTP web server, reverse proxy, content cache, load balancer, TCP/UDP proxy server, and mail proxy server. […] [1]
I still pronounce it as "n-jinx" in my head.

I'm not sure what the English pronunciation of "n-jinx" sounds like but I'm pronouncing it "engines" as in plural of engine.
Um das mal phonetisch zu schreiben: Es würd sich ungefähr wie "en dschinks" auf Deutsch anhören.
en-dschiniks
- "n-jinx" wäre "en dschinks"
- "engine x" wäre "endschin iks"
