Just for the fun of it, being a UK'un, I say Nick-on. Is it Nick-onos or
Nye-konos (which sounds better)?
Although it is not correct, I think Role-e-flex (also Rol-ee-flex) rolls
off the tongue better than Rol-eye-flex. But in the short form Rol-ee,
Role-e or Rol-eye makes very little difference. ;-)

Last year when I was in Canada I chanced to meet a British photograper
that pronounced Nikon as "Knee-con" In the states of course we say
"Nye-con"
