[Lirael]

Z-eye-day-n... Of course all that flows... Er, would Zeye-dain be better? Haha.

 

[SakuraRyn]

Zih-dayne is how I usually say his name. *shrug*

 

[Blak Mage]

I've always pronounced it Zy-Dain. That's the way it looks in my mind.

 

[Erythritol]

I always said it "Zye-dain." That's probably not how it's supposed to be said but meh, I like my way of saying it.

Although I usually end up being wrong about pronunciation...

 

[SeoJi]

Pronounce it "Zi-daan" like the soccer player Zinedine Zidane. Also of note, on wikipedia...

Zidane Tribal (ジタン・トライバル, Jitan Toraibaru?, IPA: [ziˈdan ˈtraɪbl])

 

[captainbill47]

I pronounce it with a short "i" and a long "a." That's just me though.

Yep. It kinda bugs me when people pronounce the names wrong, when the kana pretty much spells it out for you. It does get a little fuzzy when the double translation doesn't work so well (like Aeris/Aerith), but most of the time you can rely on the kana.

 

[Eight]

My mate use to say it weird though... Ze-Die-an

 

[mochtroid]
