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.

I'm Canadian, and I say Alexander "Al-ecks-ann-der", or "Al-ex-ann-der". I think "Aleg-Zander" is more European.

no, on the contrary. In Europe it's definitely Al-ex-ahn-der, like in latin.
I heard Aleg-Zander in the movie Into the wild, and then I heard Xander pronounced as Zander in Buffy.
