Boe (as in foe) then Keh as in Manwell from Fawlty towers? :D

Bok (as in sounds like captain spock) Keh

Boo (as in boooooooo!) keh



For me its the first, BoeKeh
 
From Wiki:
"The English spelling bokeh was popularized in 1997 in Photo Techniques magazine, when Mike Johnston, the editor at the time, commissioned three papers on the topic for the March/April 1997 issue; he altered the spelling to suggest the correct pronunciation to English speakers, saying "it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable".[2] Bokeh replaced the previous spelling boke that had been in use at least since 1996, when Merklinger had also suggested "or Bokeh if you prefer."
