I'm from the South. We say boo-key. Rhymes with Kookie (as in 77 Sunset Strip), Pooky (as in the Sterile Cookoo), and Vukey (as in the world's greatest Indy 500 driver, the late, great Bill Vukovitch).

Wilhelm (Sarasota)
Here in Canada... it's pronounced,
Bo (as in low) keh (as in kay)
Okay, bo kay? [Gotta stop drinking so much of that red wine!]

I thought it rhymed with 'bouquet'
or 'Heliar'.
I've been pronouncing it like boka, long "O" short "a" for a decade and will be hard-pressed to train myself as advised above. It's a valuable consideration, bokeh, and I often avoid using particular lenses wide open. I haven't read many discussions on the subject here because of our ability to render many compositions fully focused without stopping down to miniscule apertures.

But reds have such a nice bokeh... er, bouquet!Originally Posted by Capocheny
In Japanese, both vowels (o and e) are short--bo as in "boy" and ke(h) as in "que (sera sera)," though I imagine particularly the ending would sound and feel abrupt.
Bokeh also refers to the fuzziness of mental faculties in an Alzheimer sort of way.

Does anybody know how it is spelled in Japanese (using Japaneses characters)?
Bokeh - bo (like in bo-nd) + ke (like in ke-pt) +h (like in h-e). bokeh.
