Only Americans pronounce it 'zee'. Here in the original world it is 'zed', so...  >:D

Double-easy is a good play. I don't think E-squared would work since you would then really need to rebrand as E2Z.
KungFuJosh:
"Two Easy" or "2Easy" makes more sense in the context of the claims of making it easier.

Yes and no, since EE is equal to E * E that is E2 :) Anyway, thanks for your input.

I think that Double Easy (double-eee-zee) is quite clever, and would encourage its adoption.  Even for those of us that might naturally say zed rather than zee, we would get it.
And while double-eee-zed doesn't pick up the extra meaning, it isn't any harder to say than eee-eee-zee which is what I've tend to know it as.  OK, one extra syllable but it still flows.

PS. I've said eye-two-cee for a few decades rather than eye-squared-cee, but while I am certain to not be the only one, I am also not sure how prevalent that is.

Same. I think it's because we try to reduce the number of syllables, or shapes our mouths must make. Nicknames, for instance, are nearly always shorter and, given the choice we try to use acronyms rather than initialisms. Even the great initialism example of the BBC we try to make easier by calling it the 'beeb'.
