Actually, I have met a Coyote! (I always wondered why he was named that.)
He pronounced it the same way, with 3 syllables. No nickname. It fit him well, but I don't think I would like it for anyone else. We have a lot of coyotes (the animal) where I live, so it's common for pets to be killed by them, unfortunately... apparently it happened to his pet. As interesting as the name is, I wouldn't want to be named it if I have that association.
