Mispronounced Squaresoft/enix Names

[Stormie BluJay]

Well... It's surprising people don't know a German name when they see one. Seifer is a somewhat common name in Germany, and follows their phonetics. if an 's' is at the beginning of the word is pronounced as a 'z', and an 'ei' is pronounced as a long 'i', so it should be zie - fur, right? Not according to some people. Even in Kingdom Hearts II they were close, but missed by one letter. Yes, they mispronounced the 's'. Oh well, maybe they should find out where these names come from before they do the voice acting...

I know you said not to take anything seriously but this isn't right at all. If you take the German phonology as a basis you should at least do it right. 'ei' is usually pronounced /ai/ and 'Seifer' is as common a German name as 'Sephiroth' is in English. However, 'Seife' means 'soap', so it does very much look like a German word and to add something amusing, a dictionary entry for it would probably look like 'Someone who uses soap' or 'Someone who applies soap to something, i.e. clothes'.

Don't know of anything else do add.

Right, I guess I'll have to change it then, won't I? Stupid Babynames.com. I actually looked it up, so here:
Babynames.com - Seifer

And just to let you know I was saying a long 'i' which is pronounced 'ai'.

... At least I was right about the 'z' part, though!
