Talking How would you pronounce...

It's about time for another crazy poll, so:
How would you pronounce the word "Queatrix"?
The reason I'm asking is because a lot of people that have actually said the word to me say "qeetrix" rather than the real thing, so I'm thinking of changing it to "quaytrix".

Corollary/piggybacking/thread derailment: how do folks mentally pronounce my last name? I've probably heard 'em all, but now I am curious.

As far as I care, there are two correct answers.

Why does this remind me of Keeping Up Appearances? Bucket vs Bouquet.

It just rolls off my tongue. Sinkula sounds a lot like Dracula to me but sink replaces the first syllable. Quite an interesting name!

Did that make sense?

'Queatrix' rhymes with 'theatrics'.
