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 went for n-ginx too. I've known for a while that it's actually n-gin-x but have to think carefully to not revert back.

"Engine-X" just sounds dumber. N-ginx for life
