the reason i pronounce it as ee-ee (two hard i's), is because that's how i've learned to pronounce roman words with similar spellings in class (im a classical studies major). such as socii (soke-ee-ee) and triarii (triar-ee-ee). my teacher for most of these classes is german though so maybe that's just how he pronounces those words.

See, I learned that latin (roman) words ending in "i" end with the "eye" sound, like "radii" and "alumni" and, er, "pi". Wait, that's greek.

Anyway, when I see two "i"s together, I immediately think "ee-eye".

As for "Tiste", I can't imagine myself ever pronouncing it "taist", but oh well.

I prefer ee-eye. Sounds better. Why repeat the same sound: cat=c-a-t-t ?

There's a Chinese restaurant I go to where the Chinese server calls a dish General Tao Chicken. The transliteration is spelt with a T but pronounced as a D. Other restaurants just spell it with a D.
