I love the name, but I don't understand that pronunciation.

You wouldn't say Ex-ee-na for Xena,
or Ex-an-der for Xander.

So why pronounce the X in Xavier? When pronounced Zay-vee-er, I love it.

This.

I don't get the whole x-pronouncing thing at all either.
I'd say xav YAY or possibly ZAY vee er.
