Aeris vs. Aerith

[Ice_andmice]

I always use Aeris...
maby I´ll try Aerith next time i play FFVII

Aeris sounds better though

[Evelia]

I just like "Aerith" better. I even change her name to that when I play FFVII. *shrug*

[Setzer the Gambler]

....
I don't care anymore about the names...
*Plays FF7

[The Rogerer]

Aerith and Aeris should be pronounced the same way anyway.

And pronounciation of a name takes importance over spelling, ah-la "Tee-dus". It doesn't necessarily have to follow English rules since it's not an english name.

[GarrickBurke]

On the topic of pronounciation in FFVII.
So how does one prnounce Bahamut?
It definately wouldn't be Baha - MUTT like a dog would it? Only a fool would pronounce it like that?
I figure it should be Baha-moot (not like boot, but quick)
or prnounced with a arabic accent, a bit of spit does nice too.

[Dragonflame]

Aeris is how it should be pronounced. It sounds much better than Aerith. And who cares how the Japanese pronounce it? Do we really want to be like them? I personally think that Aerith sounds stupid and makes whoever says it sound like they have a lisp, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

And I resent that GarrickBurke. I pronounce Bahamut Baha-Mutt, and don't consider myself a fool at all. What if that's the right way to say it?

Dragonflame, you'll get yourself banned. Stop flaming, like.

TEE-fa
BARE-it

O_o
Ok, I think I get the point...
*Throws her FF7 copy as far as she can

[zacks_clone]

I used to say the name Aeris(Air-es),but after the game Kingdom Hearts,I found myself in the habbit of saying Aerith(Air-ith).I prefer the way Aeris sounds,but for an odd reson,i havent been able to pick back up the habbit of saying it that way.

as far as Bahamut goes,i say it 'bah-hay-mute".I know its totaly wrong,but its a habbit.
