Pronunciation

Here are a few names that i ponder over how to pronounce

Quetzacotl = Kwetz-a-cottle

Shiva= The Indians say She-vah, but i say Shy-va (makes more sense)

Aeris = I say Air-is but my friends say Air-ith

Auron= ? Dote no how i say it, i keep changing

Edea = All of my friends and I say E-dee-a but one kid keeps saying
E-da. What a fool, I mean why put another E if it wasn't used!! answer me that!!

Steiner= I say Sty-ner but some say Stee-ner

Also another little anecdote, in the original translation of FFV the main character was refered to as "Butz".....some time later when Square realized what it meant in english, they changed it.

I think Ed-ayy-ah sounds really cool, emphasis on the ayy. But I always say Eee-dee-ah. (Emphasis on the Eee.)

Laguna-Lagg-oooooo-na
Quistis-Kwiss-tiss
Rinoa-Ri-noah i for igloo
Seifer-hmmm. I wondered if it was Sea-fer for a bit, but I usually say safer.
Fujin- Foo-gin the drink
Rajin Raaa-gin

Aeris- Air-issss. Why do some peeps say Aerith?
Tifa-Tea-fah I used to have arguments with a friend over how to say this. He said Tiff-ah.
Yuffie- Yoo-fee
Sephiroth-Seph-ir-oth

Tidus-Tide-uss
Auron- Awe-ron
Wakka-Wack-a.

Zidane-Zid-dane We used to argue about that, too. He said Zi-dan. Like the footballer.

And I've always said Chock-o-bow!

Chocobo as in FFX(my friend when he was really small used to pronounce it kuh-ho-bo :lol: I sometimes pronounce it that way to poke fun at him)

bahamut=ba-ha-moot

Tidus=tie-dus

Aeris=air-ith

Sephiroth=sef-ih-roth

Tifa=tih-faa

yuffie=yoo-fee

esuna=eh-soo-na

my dad has thins strange way of pronouncing seifer, everyone i know pronounces it 'sef-ier' like the normal way, but he goes 'si-fer'.

"Seifer" is a real name, and it's pronounced "sigh-fur". Just like "cypher"...
"Sefier" is adding an extra vowel sound where there wasn't one before, so in reality your dad's pretty right:D

But to be fair... it's a fictional name, and it's never spoken in the game, so it's hard to say that anyone's absolutely right or wrong.
