If the Chinese name Xi is pronounced like English "she", does Xitter get pronounced "shitter" ?

Relevant SouthPark reference

I know it's meant to be a joke but I can't help but be a little pedantic: Xi is pronounced more like "see" -- "she" would more like xü

Sitter then? Thanks for clarifying, of course.

Portuguese too!

That’s how I read in my mind.
