I have always pronounced it like 'NICEtull'. But since unfortunately I have not chosen an original handle, it is quite possible that I do not pronounce my name correctly. It seems like this came up at Jim's, and I did some research, and I don't remember what my conclusion was. A few Tower regs used to greet me with "Nice Stool!" too.
As for the gender controversy, I assure you all that my gender has not changed since the last time this came up (nor had it changed prior)! I'm not sure why I would cause anyone confusion in that regard. The people who always had me guessing were the rogue players: Thecla, Varaya, Cyrene, Cathrin, Tanja, Calisia Valette, Occhi, and on down the line. Like the other two classes, the odds of a rogue player being female have never been good. Unlike the other two classes, you can't use the "just staying in character" excuse for referring to a rogue player as "he" incorrectly.
