You mean like Etta James? Or the greek letter, Eta?

Maybe we need to lengthen it to Eterna.

How many ways can we say that?

Its historical lineage is Eterna. I do hear folks say E T A... I'm sure an expert member of this community could confirm which is correct, or if both are acceptable. I'd love to know as well.

There are many arguments on both sides but hearing from people I trust it is not an acronym but rather a name so it is pronounced e-t-t-a-h

Depends on each language accent, and the person who spell it.

Thanks, kind of fun to see how badly I've been butchering those names over the years.

Ok, here's one...when you refer to someone as a WIS...is he a W-I-S or wiz?
