It's in their FAQ ๐

Oh wow, they have an audio sample and everything! Looks like it's "for jeo" (pronounced like "Mateo")
I feel like if you need an audio sample to get people to pronounce your name correctly, you should just name it something else....
Aka, pretend it's Spanish, since it's a word from pretend Spanish (specifically Esperanto, not Portuguese)
Wasn't Esperanto made by a Polish dude?
J has an H sound in Spanish, not a Y sound.
Thanks for this. I should have known it'd be somewhere like that.
I enjoy how there's the correct answer, and then there's the other answers in this thread. ๐
