I when i refer to the song in real life i insist on pronouncing it "jay ee en oh vee ay" and when I refer to the character I say "Jenova"
Is anyone else this crazy?

Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
Not me. I just pronounce the song the same as I pronounce the name.
Due to the insane amount of supposedly correct translations, I call the boss theme Sarani Tatakau Monotachi, its Japanese name, or just "FF7 boss theme" or similar. Those Who Fight Further, I use exclusively to refer to the amazing arrangement by The Black Mages.
P.S. It's pedantry, not pedantism.
pedoism.
Nope. I pronounce it Jen-oh-vuh
This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
Why would you pronounce all of the letters even if that's what it looks like it should be that's just way too much effort man gosh
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN
I pronounce the military group as "Es - Oh - El - Dee - Aie - Ee - Ar" and the
rebel group as "Ay - Vee - Ay - El - Ay - En - See - Aych - Ee"... no, seriously, you're messed up.
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
It would only be pedantic if you bugged other people for "mispronouncing" the names. As is, you're just weird.
Aesthetic value? You raise a good point but I refuse to go out of my way to sound weird.
