Here in the colonies, it is pronounced Metcal!
KL27x:
Hock-o never even occurred to me. It figures that would be the correct pronunciation.
james_s:
It never occurred to me that anyone would pronounce it any other way. With double consonants after the vowel you won't get the long a pronunciation. That's basic English I remember learning back in 1st or 2nd grade.

Perhaps the rules are different in UK English, I don't really know.
TERRA Operative:
Looking at the name in Japanese (白光), it literally translates to 'white light'. (白 is 'shiro' or the colour white, 光 is 'hikari' or light/shine/sparkle/my son's middle name)

The pronunciation of that in Japanese is Ha-Ko, said staccato with just a slight extension of the 'o' sound.
(Ha as in Hat, Ko as in Copper)
solarity:
Really insightful, so I shall start calling it Ha Co as the two other ways I have heard it are different than the official way.
