How do you pronounce this? Is it a soft <g>? Whenever I see Kagi on HN I smile, because my daughter has a soft toy (a sea horse) that she has named Kagi (she pronounces it kha-gee, with a hard g). Good luck!

I pronounce it like her, which is unfortunate because in Italian "KA-ghee" (written caghi) is the verb "you shit".

I also pronounce it with a hard g, same as "kagi" the Japanese word for "key"

It is Kah-gee and comes from the Japaneese word for 'key'. Here is a video with pronunciation:
