Recently I found out that I've been say Aether wrong. Since I'd never actually heard someone say the word I just created my own way of saying it. And my way was wrong but I'm not going to change now. So I was just curious as to how other people say it. Hopefully I won't be the only person saying it incorrectly. I would suggest voting before you check the official pronunciation but its up to you really.

The official pronunciation of Aether is

I say it wit a "hay", I know I say it wrong, but honestly I don't care.  Nobody hears me say it except for me in my own head.  I am making the choice to pronounce it wrong #hipster.
My signature is too messy to read >.<

I've always pronounced "ae" as "ay". So I pronounce Aether was "Ayther"

The way I used to pronounce it was heavy with brazilian accent and is not depicted in the poll, thus I shall refrain from voting. I don't even know how to put letters together to make the words in english since I don't know any word with the sound I used to make when pronouncing Aether. It would be like an open "A" like you do when screaming, and I have no idea how the E should be (Would be closer to é. )

Ay-ther, with a softer th, because it's the only way I can hide my speech impediments saying it, even though I know it's incorrect.

I always pronounce it translated into my own language (Éter) and that's Ay - ther (sounds like Hay).

fyi, in the recent Fire Emblem games with Ike (GC and Wii + Super Smash Bros. Brawl) and Chrom/Lucina (3DS), the game vocalizes the skill "Great Aether"/"Aether" as ay-ther.
