That and he makes it sound like one of Ray's body waste removal functions.

I wonder if someone would be willing to keep tally if we were to take
an informal vote in p.o-t, "How I think 'POV-Ray' should be pronounced".
We've basically got two camps: Pee-Oh-Vee Ray, or Pahv Ray. People
with any other pronunciation would have to contact Ross Perot to get a
signature drive going.

Not to throw too big a wrench into your proposal but I pronounce it
POV - rhymes with grove.
I don't care what the consensus is and will always say it that way.

The dispute is made even more pointless by the fact that POV-users are a
multi-lingual bunch. The way I would pronounce P.O.V. differs considerably from
the way an Englishman would.
For the record, I prononce it as 'POV' and there can be very little disagreement
as to how this should sound in Estonian.

For the English speaking group, how about pov=love then? Is that ever said?
Sorry, you might not realize I'm being sarcastic... and I am.
