I’m pretty sure I’ve already been put off this name due to pronunciation confusion but just thought I’d check how you’d pronounce it?

There’s seems

Hav-ee-ay (Spanish)

Zavier (English/French)

Ex-zavier (seems to be American/X men!)

I’m not a language expert and might have got these slightly wrong. What would you automatically say?

I love this name! I would pronounce it zay-vier

I’ve always loved the name Zavier, it’s unique in an exotic kind of way.

Hav-ee-air or ex-ay-vee-a(x-men style)

Zavier as I'm English. Bloody awful name though, sorry, so pretentious.
