Pick-ahn. But that's how the Michigandans taught me.... I think Brits say Peek'n, but they don't eat them much.

It seems like I remember a pecan tree along some Texas highway with a sign saying it was the
original soft- or paper-shell tree, from which all of today's commercial trees are descended.

If so, maybe best pronunciation is with a heavy Texan-twang.

Pea-cans are yummy. Pea-can pie is too.

I was collecting them off the ground in a park over thanksgiving weekend. The nuts were in a hard shell, and are a pain to get the meat out. Didn't know there was a paper shell variety.
