How do you pronounce the singular for a HIBernian supporter?

Surely options 2 and 3 are phonetically identical. :confused:

Surely this should be multiple choice as I tend to use more than one - Highbee or Hibby usually, depending on context.
Never heard of Hibbae though - is that the Scandinavian branch :confused:

Most likely the old Latin plural. Singular: Hibbam (colloquially, bammyhibby)

At the end of the CIS cup final David Murphy calls us ( the fans ) Hibees.
But I think thats coz he's English

I've always said Hibby's when refering to the fans and Hibees when it's the team

It always makes me cringe when i'm described by somebody as a Hibee.

I voted 'Hibby'. You need a proper Leith accent to say 'Hibbae' :greengrin

I say Hibby singular, Hibees plural
