Some people in our shop pronounce it "nae-gus", in reference to the Star

In a distributed Nagios environment, the central monitoring server is "The
Grand Nagios"

You could even go so far as naming each of your Nagios machine's hostnames
Rom or Zek if you're a real hardcore Trekkie (that was too cheesy for us,
but your cheese tolerance might be different)
