How do y'all pronounce "Kintobor?"

[Austroid]

Just kind of wondering how others say "Kintobor." I personally always went with "Kin-toe-bore."

The reason I ask is because I randomly decided to watch some of that old live action Sonic fan film, and the way they said it felt odd to me. ("Kin-TOE-brrr"; emphasis on the "TOE")

I choose this way:

Hmm, I also say Kin-toe-bore. What's the name of the fan film? Just curious :)

[StaticMania]

The way it's spelled...

It's been a decade since I've ever needed to say it out loud, but I've always read it as KIN-TOE-BORE. I even searched some free text to voice generators and they say it the same way.

Here's a link to one for anyone that wants to try it themselves.

As in, to rhyme with "October"?  Odd.  I've been pronouncing it like everyone else in this topic.

With "Kin-to-ber", I think it sounds cool, though it certainly sounds like a month in a calendar. But yes, I feel "Kin-toe-bore" makes the most sense to me, pronunciation-wise.

I remember watching that Sonic fan film years ago, I like how they got Jaleel White back for the voice of Sonic after watching the 90's cartoons for so long!

I pronounce it like October but replacing "oc" with "kin"

(Its crazy that this is already 10 years old! Where's the time gone!?)

In my head I say it pretty fast with most emphasis on the final syllable, but even so not much more than the first two, so it more comes out sounding like "Kintabore".
