Actually I think it's 'Arcoscephale', but who's to argue about a single 'c' . I remember it because 'cephale' is the greek word for 'head', so 'Arco's head' is Arcoscephale.

I usually pronounce it Ar-kohs-kef-ah-ley

Wow, those are both different than how I was pronouncing it:

ar-koss-eh-fail

I was treating the "sc" as an s sound, as in "science", and the e as silent...

I do like Sheap's pronunciation, though...

St. Patrik is correct, as "Cephale" is indeed Greek for "Head": In Greek, the "c" sound is pronounced as a "k". The "s" sound for a "ce" is a more recent product.

As Arco is intended to be, well, Greek, it seems reasonable that it should be pronounced in a Greek manner.

I liked that one best, I'll start calling it Arcosnuffleupagus now.

Heh, that's two syllables away from what I call Heliophagi.
