Well, it's pronounced kinda like my name, if you take Alcyone and switch the sounds around (ignoring english pronounciation rules, maybe the c needs one of those french curly things). Why do you ask?

Go to Merriam Webster's site. It'll pronounce it for you.
www.M-W.com
Click on the little red speaker thingy right after the emboldened word.

Or just Click Here instead.

That would depend if he's asking about my screen name or the subaru term "Alcyone".
