Comment left Sep 19, 2008: "I am Xavier. Pronounced (here in English Canada) Ex Say Vee Er. Ancestry is French.. parents are from Spain. Parents pronounced it Ha Vee Er (the Spanish way). Never been too crazy about the Spanish version. French pronounce it Sa Vee Aye. I pronounce it Say Vee Er." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 27, 2007: "This has been a difficult name for me. It is more popular now than when I was born, but the English speaking world has traditionally had trouble pronouncing it and ex-AY-vyuhr just doesn't sound as nice as the French zahv-YAY or the Spanish Hahv-Yair."

Comment left Aug 05, 2007: "people always pronounce Xavier as X-Zavier, which seems silly to me because X is pronounced as a Z, not an X. We all learned that when we learned the alphabet, X is for xylophone. :) Even when I introduce our son as Xavier (pronounced Zavier), people say "ooooh! Hi X-Zavier." Seems as if we need to enroll our son as Zavier to get the pronunciation that we intended." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 15, 2007: "If pronounced properly (not ex-avier as in X men, but "ha-vee-er" it's quite nice. My uncle's name is Xavier, one of the most inteligent men i've ever known, philosopher and all, he studied the etymology of the name and also found out that people with this name (and most names with X) tend to give out a strong aura of developed intelect."
