There is no official pronunciation of the name — which consists of nine interpuncts originally representing the nine founding members, although the actual number of members varied over the history of the group and ten performers have been in the group in total, albeit not at the same time — but the group has referred to themselves in interviews and online variously as dots, dotstokyo, dotsnine, tenten (a colloquial term for kana voicing marks which are dot-shaped), tenkyu (indicating that there are nine dots but also a pun off "thank you"), and so on.[1]
