Great, hopefully this high-profile move makes them change their name into something that can't be potentially pronounced 8 different ways. Forge-joe? Or more like Jorge-ho?
It comes from the Esperanto forĝejo meaning forge (noun, literally a site, ejo, where forging takes place). So soft g, and j as English y. /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/

Not many names come from Esperanto so that's interesting. :)
For anyone wondering, for a native English speaker, it's pronounced like "for-jay-yo".
I think it's interesting but also still a terrible name. But I fear the time to change it is long gone.
Why terrible? Because is not in English?
Because like the op said- it's not clear how it's to be pronounced.
I've learned some Esperanto. Doesn't mean it's a great base for naming a project.
Because you are assuming everything should be pronounced as in English. Names can be in any language. It's on you if you assume English phonetics.
Dude, I speak like four languages. It's a dumb name in my opinion.
And I speak three and am learning a fourth. It's just a bad name.
That opinion probably has a reason, does it? What is it?
I've been pronouncing it For-ge-ho
for as in the word "for",
ge as in gecko
and ho as in ho-ho-ho!
I've always been a fan of for-ged-joe (like forget Joe, but with a d instead of a t)
It's officially "for-jay-yo".
Maybe it's more like for-gay-joe? Or for-gay-o? For-gee-o? For-gy-o? Who knows?

Now there's a winner. F-Orgy-O. Like a Federated Orgy.
I've always just read and called it forgero which always made sense to me. I never realised the letters were not those...
Depends on your language.
Forgejo-jo-jo
Please ActivityPub federation in Forgejo!!
It's being worked.
I knowwww
If it’s going to be a name from a made up language, it should be in Klingon.
All languages are made up.
For Esperanto probably nobody will want royalties :)
