To be perfectly honest I often readed as "Tie-dus" despite it being wrong. In actual fact there are few FF names I pronounce wrong automatically through habit; Tidus ("Tee-dus"), Chocobo ("Chock-a-bo") Midgar ("Mid-Jar" for some strange reason even though that can't possibly be right) and Seifer ("See-Fer") to name a few. All of these are wrong, but I still read them that way, strange really.
