"Nietzsche"
Many people anglicize the name to rhyme with "peachy", but the preferred pronunciation, following the German original, is "NEE-chuh" (and since it is simple enough to pronounce in English, there is no reason to change it)
compare the first pronunciation in these dictionary entries:

My first call is elementary to spell and quite unambiguous to pronounce, yet my surname is a overseas call that has an unusual spelling with a consonant mixture that doesn't happen in the English language. this is often mispronounced different than by way of people who be conscious individuals, or human beings from my husband's u . s . a . of foundation who're responsive to the call!

Neitzche's last name is prounounced Nee-chee, as if you were rhyming it with "peachy."

You can always remember by using the poem
"Nietszche is peachy
but Sartre is smarter."
