"Eskotchy" is the portuguese pronunciation of the name, Scott. Ending with a consonant, Scott, frequently mistaken for oscar, ska, even sky, is not among the easiest names to pronounce for native Portuguese-speaking people who have not studied English. In Brasilian pronunciation, all Portuguese words end with a phonetic vowel, regardless of spelling. English words ending with a consonants present great difficulty. To resolve this problem, it is customary for words ending in consonants such as b or t to be followed by an 'eeee' sound. For example, 'Sponge Bob' would be pronounced, "Bobbee Eshponjeee." Additionally, words ending with d or t take on a "jee" or "chee" pronunciation, respectively. "Stop! Time out!!" would be pronounced, "Shtopy! Timey Outchy!" Or "Bud Light" would be pronounced 'Budjeee Liytchee.' And so the name, Scott, is pronounced "Eskotchy," most resembling the Portugues pronunciation of Skotch whiskey--"Esktochy."
