How do you pronounce it?? Options

[Valo666]

Im just curious, cuz ive heard it being pronounced like 10 different ways. Celica..is it

Sell-E-Kah
Sell-Ik-Ah
or
Slick-Ah

or feel free to add how u pronunce it.

Personaly, me and most of my friends pronounce it Sell-E-Kah

It's based on the latin word caelestis meaning:
"heavinly", "celestial", or "of the sky" when used as an adjective, or
"a god", "dweller in heaven" when used as a noun.
So in latin it would be:
cha lee ka

But it is closer in spelling to the Spanish name Celia which comes from the latin word caelestis so an argument could be made that it should be pronounced with the Spanish pronunciation:
Say lee ka

Personaly I'm a lazy American so I say Sell ick ah. But I really think it all depends on where you're from and who you talk to.
