Being Australian I should really read it as "zed-doom" but "zeedoom" always stuck with me ever since I first found the source port.

A bit like "zi-doom" when trying to say it in english.
"Ze-dum" when saying it in portuguese.

I've called it since 2003 Zed Doom, but I know now I'm probably wrong, so I call it now Zee Doom (which makes more sense to Americans) and GZDoom Gheeziee Doom

For me, it's ZEE-Doom and GEE ZEE-Doom; I may say "eye dee clip" instead of the correct "id-clip" and the same for the other cheats, but this is all standard.
