I mean, the pronunciation of proper nouns doesnāt follow other rules of language. If the creator is still alive and is telling you the correct pronunciation then thatās the pronunciation. Itās a product, a proper noun, not a simple word.
Itās not a proper noun any more than granola is. Even if that point stood, when you get down to it, there simply are no ārules of language,ā there is just making noises that other people understand or making ones that they donāt. You think proper nouns canāt have multiple pronunciations, well what do you call those little yellow, orange, and brown peanut butter candies? How do you say the capital of South Dakota? Speaking of SD, did you know thereās a town there called Sinai, pronounced āsigh-knee-eyeā by its residents? I legitimately know a guy named Jurgen, one of his parents pronounces it with the J sound and the other pronounces it with the Y sound! It may be infuriating at times but thatās just how spoken language works. I urge you to embrace it as fighting it is fruitless. Itās also easier to get used to cringey new slang when you realize itās a universal constant.
