I did not go through all the follow-ups, but surely someone must have mentioned that "ECCE" is a latin word, and the quote is famous : "ECCE HOMO" = "HERE IS THE MAN", pointing to Jesus Christ. Now, latin is pronounced in many different ways according to the country; i.e in France, it is pronounced as "Eckshay"... No doubt the anglo-saxons have their own way to pronounce it ! So just go to a latin scholar of your respective countries, and you'll get the answer .
