What is the correct pronunciation of "AJAX"?

I have wondered for a while about how I should pronounce "AJAX" (asynchronous JavaScript and XML). I usually say "I-acs", as in the Amsterdam football club, but should I say "a-jacs" (as it looks in English) or simply as the acronym "A-J-A-X"? Or does it not matter?

Solution 1:

The traditional pronunciation for the detergent brand (and I think also the Greek hero, contrary to FX_'s answer) is /ˈejdʒæks/ (often written /ˈeɪdʒæks/), which can serve as guidance.

Solution 2:

I believe the correct pronunciation is Ay-Jacks.

My answer is a tweaked version of the answer found here.

Solution 3:

The traditional pronunciation for the Greek hero is ˈeɪdʒaks, which can serve as guidance.

Solution 4:

The pronunciation I find on the NOAD is /ˈeɪˌdʒæks/, which matches as a friend of mine (who is American) pronounces the word, independently from the meaning of the word.
