The currently adopted pronunciation of the name "Geib" is pronounced as "GUY-B". The origin of this pronunciation is dated back to ancient German roots, from the Germanic name Gaibald. The name carried over through centuries, gone through several iterations, and is present in much of the population today. However, even though the English language changed and evolved over time, this outdated pronunciation still persists.

This old pronunciation often confuses people, as for English used in our modern day, many would pronounce the name "Geib" as "GEE-B". This causes problems such as language barriers, confusion, wrongful name calling, census issues, mistaken identity, etc. It is very common for English speakers to pronounce "Geib" using current phonetic laws they learned in school, and their first instinct would be to say "GEE-B", especially if they are not familiar with the Germanic origin of the name.

In summary, this petition proposes for the change of the pronunciation of the name "Geib" from "GUY-B" to "GEE-B", as it will help both native and non-native English speakers to pronounce the name. The first step for this change to take place is for various online pronunciation tools to change it to this updated pronunciation.
