I want to like Forgejo but the name is really terrible.

Is it "forj-joe"? Nah, that double-J sound is way too awkward.
Do you then merge the J sounds to make "forjo"? If so, why not just call it that?
Is it maybe "for-geh-joe"? That seems the most likely to me, but then that ignores the "build < forge" marketing on their website.

I know it's pretty inconsequential, but it feels weird using a tool that you don't even know how to pronounce the name of.

There is an official pronounce on the site. It comes from Esperanto anyway.

Of course, the international non-ambiguous language.

You mean lojban or toki-pona?
