How do you pronounce Sid Meier's last Name?

[DEATH]

My buddy was pronouncing it like "Me" + "er", but knowing that Mei is normally pronounced like "My", I say it like "My" + "er"...so whats official? How does Sid pronounce it?

[W - Tungstene]

"My" ( because of the I ) + "er"

[Zer0]

Officially it's "My-er"

I have never heard anybody say "Me-er".

[Hextravert]

Rest assured that it rhymes with blow–dryer.

Sid Meier probably uses the Swiss pronunciation of the name. His father was from Switzerland and his mother was Dutch. They emigrated to Canada where Sid was born so at birth he held dual Canadian and Swiss citizenship.

This guy knew what to do: plaster his name all over his own franchise. I've always remembered the name.

GO to Google translate. Select English to Dutch. Type in Meier. Then hit the button to hear how it is pronounced. You are correct. Your buddy is dropping the i completely.

Since there are 4 different languages consider official in Switzerland whiich one was it? German, Italian, french or Romash? Or English which is unofficial but widely used?

August Meier was born in 1922 in Bülach, Switzerland so most likely the Swiss German dialect.
