How is P.E.K.K.A pronounced?

Too many years since I attended grammar lessons in school so can't really write it fonetically, but here's a shot at it:

But if you want to mimic the way it's pronounced in Finnish, the first syllable (PEK) is announced like the English word "peck", while the A of the second syllable (KA) is pronounced similarly to the a-sounds of "ha!", "love", or "fun". The two K's simply make the k-sound a bit more drawn out.

Here's some random clip, at ~11.5 seconds the show host welcomes a guy named Pekka: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atipITP7DZs

Willy, Pecker!

Peck-ah.That's how i pronounce it.

Pecker is how I say it.
Or Peck-ah (both are same though lol)

Realising that Pekka is actually a finnish name for a male person and that P.E.K.K.A. is usually referred to as being female.
Is that some inside joke by SC on somebody they know who is called Pekka ? Where does the name P.E.K.K.A originate frrom ?
After all, the compnay has its office in Finland, doesn't it ?

I think SC just refers to the PEKKA as female as some will regard cars and ships as female.

Peter peck-a
Peter Peka
Peter Pekka

PEK-Kah! (I think it means Peter in Finnish?)

I pronounce P.E.K.K.A like 'Steelnips'

In Finnish, Pekka is pronounced like having e replaced with a in English alphabets. When comparing Finnish and English alphabets, a, e and i's pronouncing is mixed up, so you could write something like p-a-k-k-i. Anyways, it's not pronounced in Finnish as it's written in English

Peck-uhh
drag-un
wiz-erd
