HelpRe: ??? (m)
in reply to a message by Tuesday
I grew up pronouncing Xavier as ex-ZAY-vee-ər. As Rachel Shaina mentioned that is how it is pronounced in the X-Men movies. Well I grew up watching the X-Men cartoon show as a kid and that is where I first heard it pronounced. I like that pronunciation and I also like ig-ZAY-vee-ər, I'm not certain which pronunciation I prefer. I don't care for ZAY-vee-ər, and ZAY-vyər is only okay.

By newer I meant maybe within the last 30-40 years. I didn't say it was wrong or that I disliked it, it's just definitely a more modern pronunciation.
