I'm... more than a little surprised more people don't do this. I've always assumed Kerberus, in line with the actual Greek.

Damn Americans. There's a certain Boston basketball team I'd also like to pound on for related reasons.

I'm sticking with the hard c.

For most players apparently there is two b's in there and pronounce it ib-is vs. eye-bes (or more accurately 'aibis).
