I say it's Aeris and I absolutly hate it when people call her Aerith. I ticks me off to no end. Now I feel like doing some reasurch on the typo and nickname theories or maby it theoriths.

EDIT: Looked around and saw that Aerith was the Japanese name, but us americans made it Aeries to suit us better.

I like Aerith better, so I always change her name to that when playing. Aeris sounds too much like Ares, the Greek god of war.

Aeris for me, I hate the character so her name doesn't bother me. But I always pronounced it Aeris, is far simpler to do. But if the Japanese named her Aerith, i guess that is her 'official' name

I like the name Aeris better than Aerith. It sounds prettier and I'm used to calling her Aeris. and when i call her aerith, it sounds weird to me since it makes me feel like i have a lisp.

I like Aeris better. I'm not really sure why but ending it with a s seems so much more girl like than ending with a th. Even though I know many girls are named things like beth, and edith.

Maybe I also like it better because I started out using Aeris and it just grew on me?

Wasn't Aeris kind of names after Eris, the Goddess of strife? It is pointed out by Aeris/Cloud fans to no end.... >< (I'm a Aeris/Zack fan^__^) It is true though that 'th' is usually rendered 'su' I usually pronounce it 'Ay-eir-is'.That is phonetically correct with considerations for Japanese pronounciations IMHO.

I like calling her Aerith. Aeris sounds like a disease... and not only that. It's coz her name was Aerith in the japanese version so i consider that the better one.
