My pleasure. :) (And I love the form Kersti (SHESH-ti, of course) even more!)
This rule sometimes make loan words troublesome. Ketchup is said with a hard k, while kilo is SHEE-lo, and whether kex ("biscuit, cracker", a loan from the English word "cakes") should be pronounced "kex" or "shex" is an ever raging debate (seriously!). I'm on "Team shex"!

Some people pronounce kilo with a hard k. It bugs me. Almost as much as kex pronounced "shex" ;)
Team Kex forever.

I just can't stand the shex prn. It bugs the hell out of me. Seriously. Thankfully, 99% of the people in my area prn it kex.
