I assume it's pronounced gyoonicorn (just unicorn with a g in front) rather than gun-icorn?

I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering this. I found this Quora post (https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-pronounce-gunicorn) as well as this GitHub issue (https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/issues/139), and it's clear as mud now.

I've always pronounced it G-unicorn. As-in, say G first, then unicorn. Like Geeunicorn.

That's how I've heard others pronounce it too.
