Well, since this IS my name, in my family we pronounce it as al-TAIR, two syllables not three, with the stress on the second syllable, pronounced like the word AIR, only with a t on the front of it. Also, usage of this name is also feminine, as I am definitely a she!

It is actually pronounced like Altaïr, "Al-Tie-Ear".
