depends on the region mostly.

Either nish or nitch is mostly what I've heard.

Keesh, unless your middle name is W, in which case it's quickie.

OK.

niche = nitch
quiche = keesh.

Makes sense.

Why the question?

Any reason or were you just curious?

Abbott: A niche in life is something you're good at. When you're successful, you've found your niche.
Costello: In that case, I know an airedale that's doing very well!
Abbott: No, no, no. A niche is a notch. Natch?
Costello: Natch.

Dictionary.com says that both "nitch" and "neesh" are fine, but keep in mind that I'll make fun of you if you say "neesh."

Just curious. I figured someone would make the Entourage reference but I didn't actually get it from that. One of the guys on the trailer for the video games concert said 'nitch'.

I also figured someone would come back with a counter example to attempt to look cool.

I was curious because everyone I know round here says 'neesh', but can't speak for the rest of the UK.
