Like it's spelled... "N" (sounds like in) + "Hibernate". |
Really? I just thought that the "h" should be ommited when pronouncing this term, because this is a common practice in English language:P
So the "n" here should be pronounced as "in", right?

Yes, but don't just take my word for it, here's a podcast with the developer:
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=165139In this case, NHibernate is a compound word: N+Hibernate. The capital N and capital H indicate that. If nhibernate were a word, then it would be pronounced as one word, but since it's not, it's pronounced as if it were two.
The same rule usually applies to similar names, like NUnit (although I might have to start calling it nun-it, I think that would be funny
) or names in the Java world, like jEdit or JOptionPane. However, like many "rules" in the English language, there are exceptions, and there's no consistent way to define them. (e.g. ARCast, pronounced "arc-cast")
