It's time to argue about this again
It's time to make my list again. There is only one right answer.
my game says Aeris. its Aeris. its also Shaibana or what ever else i named her.
its truly the Final Battle
and in 4 versions of my game yuffie says one sentence that is both german and english at the same time. it is nonsense nonetheless.
origin + intention
Except Aerith is not a retcon and if you think the retcon of Genesis is not what has happened, then you are just for the sake of being stubborn ignoring what is a fact. Just like everyone else.

I've been calling her Aerith since they corrected the mistake in Kingdom Hearts, so... Aerith.
Nah sephiroth i was joking. tis all but silly banter
I like to point out that I like the sound of Aeris, or "Taiduhs" or "Reina" for what it is worth. I am just neurotical when it comes to over-analyzing.
Reina is a mistranslated "Lenna". There is a difference between a legit translation (Aeris out of Earisu, Reverse (Bizarro) Sephiroth out of Ribasu Sefirosu, Reina) or a right translation (Aerith, Rebirth Sephiroth, Lenna). And yes, it is Teedus. I also think Tide-uhs sounds better but it is Teedus.
Perfect and intended: Sefirosu -> Sephiroth, Earisu -> Aerith, Kuraudo -> Cloud, ...
Looks like a change but actually was supposed to mean that from the beginning: Tida -> Tidus, Zakkusu -> Zack, ...
Purposely changed: Butz -> Bartz, Tina -> Terra, Salamander -> Amarant, ...
Legitimately translated but mistranslated through missing the point: Aeris, Reverse, Terrahoming, ...
I knew Aeris first, but it always looked awkward to me. Aerith is more elegant, IMO.
Hm. Maybe it's a good thing they don't say his name in the game, then. The guy gets teased enough without people knowing how to say his name.
