(It's definitely not Bot-key-air! It's pronounced like Cartier. I thought it was Bot-key-air too at first, but my mother studied the French language and she said that's only possible if it's spelled Botkiere.)
No, it's NOT French, it's Polish.

Finally! Thank you, that makes a great difference. Finally I know... Thanks again!

I don't know how it's pronounced now though, I'll just stay with Bo-key-yay or Bot-key-yay untill I know...

Since I now know that the name is Polish, and the correct pronnunciation, I am going to say Bot-kee-yer. Glad we had this thread!

Oh no she di-int!!
Hehehe this thread cracks me up! When I would 'say' it in my head I always switched between "yer" and "ee-yay" on the end.

Now....back to shopping, eh??

So this is a super old thread, but I wanted everyone to know that the designer herself pronounces it "bot-key-air".

Monica Botkier pronounces "Botkier" within the first 20 seconds of this clip for the Spring 2010 line preview:
