There are apparently many ways to pronounce it. I personally pronounce it "sur-see". I've seen it defined as "seer-see" or "sur-see". Never the keer-keeh one, but maybe that's the old Greek pronounciation. That's why I told Berry that her new "Kirsi" name reminded me of mine.
Here's a vocal recording of how to pronounce it: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=circe

No matter how many pronunciations of Circe that I see or hear, it's still Seer-se on my head... :X

A long time ago, when I heard someone pronouncing Circe's name as "sur-see" in a call. I simply made a mental note regarding the pronunciation, lol.

Considering I am using it as my name, it makes sense that people pronounce it the way I pronounce it.
Plus "keer-keeh" just sounds ugly, like a sausage or a naked turtle or something.
