- kmarc 5y agocheek-sent-me-high would be even better. One of the lesser known Hungarians (even Hungarians don't really know of him), but definitely remarkable life and research.
- shaldjfb 5y agoIs chick-sent-me-holly wrong?
- yosito 5y agoYes. In Hungarian, ly is pronounced like y, the l is silent.

- vekerdyb 5y agoMe-high Cheek-sent-me-high-y would be my approximation for the full name. The Twitter post and the HN title has an extra ‘i’ after his first name. Rest in peace, nyugodj bekeben.
- sturza 5y agoI can confirm this. On the back of "Good work" - book with Gardner, Csikszentmihalyi and Damon they mention the Chick-sent-me-high pronunciation.
