Time for a serious Friday question!
Like the title says, is it like the boy's name "Kyle", or like the "Keel" on a boat?
I have always pronounced it "Kyle", but my colleagues disagree. Maybe somebody from KEIL can tell us.

As far as I'm concerned, "Niel" is a typo
;)
Thank you. So I have been pronouncing KEIL correctly then.
Maybe you could settle the argument for Neil and Niel?
I think Weigand is another Proper Name? So you'd have to search its origins.
But weird is just a standard English adjective - plenty of sources for correct pronunciation
German! Yes! Great find!
If only someone could find similar hints for other words such as wiegand and weird!
Well done!
(and many more)
It is German!
It is the name of the founders - who are German: en.wikipedia.org/.../Keil_(company)
I've always pronounced it as if it were German, with the ei sounding like eye.
(Not that I would even pretend to being a linguistic expert though.)
