How would you pronounce this?

[RainbowJack]

Xaviar.

Do you pronounce the name differently then when it ends in -er?

I pronounce it Zave-ia

Za-ve-ar

I would pronounce it is the same if spelt Xavier or Xaviar

There is a you tube video on this topic - I think my pronunciation was wrong :)

Zave-ee-er

If the -ar was pointed out to me, I'd guess it was meant to be said like caviar but starting with z. Otherwise, the same as Xavier.

Don't think it makes any difference whether it's an -er or -ar ending, but think -er would be the more usual spelling.

Zay-vee-er

Ex-ay-vee-ah. Annoying name cos everyone says it differently.

So it isn't 'Havier' then?

Dave.

I would prounounce Xavier Zavv-ee-ayr

...but I would probably pronounce Xaviar (which I would assume to be an error/an incorrect spelling) to rhyme with caviar.

If that makes sense!

Zay-vee-ar.

The same as Xavier, basically.

Xavier is French (non?) - so Xza-vee-ay

Xaviar...I dunno. Maybe to rhyme with caviar...?

Zav-EE-ay - which is the French pronunciation. I guess other countries use the name too.
I'm learning Spanish at the moment. I think they would have a softer final syllable- Za-VI-eh. The French would stress the last syllable & the Spanish would stress the middle one.

Zay vee er

Have-ier

Havier

Spelt like this I'd say Zav - ee - ar.

Spelt the usual way I'd say Zav-ee-ay.

Havier

Ksav-ee-ar. But then I'm a foreigner so prone to mispronouncing names.

Havier

I'd struggle to pronounce it as it's not obvious what the language is. I'd assume it's not French as that is usually Xavier which I'd pronouce ZA-vee-ay. I'd also assume it's not Spanish as that is usually Javier which I'd pronouce Chab-YERR (CH as in loch).

I'd guess at ZA-vee-arr, but without any confidence that I'd be right!

Hmm.
Thanks.

I've taught three Xavier's, all with a different pronunciation

Sav-ee-er
Save-yer
X-ay-vee-er

Basically I ask how they prefer their name pronounced!
