how do YOU pronounce Xavier?

the thought of pronouncing it like zavier only dawned on me since being in this community. every xavier i've met (and i worked in a daycare so it's kind of a lot) has been x-zavier.

My X in English is actually a lot closer to "ks" than it is to "gz", I think. Maybe that's another British/North American thing, although I've never really thought about it before.

I pronounce Alexander closer to Aleks-ander than Aleg-zander.
