I always say "risk-vee", and everybody knows what I mean.
I also say "macosix" and "windos" (and used to say "solarix") as generic alternatives to commercial trademarks.
Marketing departments can only propose pronunciation, they cannot dictate it, and they have no right or power to prevent inventing synonyms for the trademarks they control. They also have no authority over verbs, so e.g. "googling" is a generic term right out of the gate.
There won't be a RISC-VI, so it doesn't matter that it means "5" to some people.
