Yeah. I'm...actually kind of confused, now. I've never heard the 'Exavier' pronunciation except for Professor X... Whenever it's about St Francis Xavier and people named for him (the most common non-X-Men use I've encountered), it's always been Zavier, or Savier. (Or Havier, if talking about a more modern Spanish person than St Francis Xavier.)

[(Anonymous)]

I've heard both Zavier and Exavier for St. Francis.

[lb_lee]

I used to pass by Xavier University sometimes. They pronounced it the same way as Professor X did, I think. And yeah, I mostly know of it more from SPANISH, rather than FRENCH.

It's still quite weird to me, but I guess Exavier is way more common than my experience (...no pun intended) led me to believe.

[lb_lee]

Yeah, to me it's unusual, but not THAT much. But then, I lived near Bexar County, which is pronounced 'Bear,' so stupid pronunciations is kinda a given.

Still loathe how I'm supposed to pronounce 'quixotic' though.

--Rogan

[kamino_neko]

Heh...I literally cannot pronounce quixotic using the Spanish pronunciation of Quixote, no matter how much I try. >_>

[lb_lee]

Yeah, while I automatically try to pronounce it the Spanish way, just because it makes way more intuitive sense to me. Go fig.

--Rogan

The "Eksavior" pronounciation predates the movie. see: Flaming Red by Patty Griffin 2:07 (published 1998) for an example.

[(Anonymous)]

Isn't the pronunciation more like "Egg-zavier" though?

[esteefee]

Yeah, and that's how Charles pronounces it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfQ6OGfYoF0

It's not voiceless.

[lilacsigil]

Zay-vier is the usual English pronunciation, but apparently in the New York, Pennsylvania and New England areas (where the character is from) it's pronounced as it is in the movies. So they are correct, even though it's super weird to me.

[meredith44]

As someone who grew up in Pennsylvania and lives in New York, I was like "Isn't Ex-zay-vier" how it is pronounced in English? Apparently just in my region.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm from New England and it never occurred to me that it could be pronounced any way other than "ex-zay-vier."
