Prize as it is a homophone with pries as in to pry, or to meddle into someone else’s business. It also rhymes with spies which Erwin, as a conspiracy theorist, would probably do a lot of—prying and spying.
Since I'm a german, I read his full name in german. In my saves he is recently scared by many things and runs terrified through the areas. This fact amused much more than it should be, but I cannot stop laughing about this cliché.

This is what I reckon. Erwin was prying that day. Erwin Pried (past tense simple), Erwin Pries (present simple.)
In that case I’d pronounce it as “Prize” or “Price”.

Actually, I just read that it's a German surname, so maybe Prees?
Just realized we have very similar interpretations @Rouensims.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
A quick search about the english pronounciation brought up this, sounds something like pry-es to my ear:

I say “Price” because of my ridiculous accent.
