| I personally call her Aerith, just because that's the named I learned her under. |

| It's Aeris in the version I played, but it's never been a big deal to me. |

| I don't care what anyone else thinks. It's Aeris. |

| Well, her actual name is Aerith, so I guess it's Aerith much in the same way nobody calls her 'Valvalis' anymore. But the problem with Aerith is that you sound like you have a lisp while you say it. So I could go either way, I guess. |

| Both. Yes, Both. Take a look at various Anglicised names out there, such as Scots/Irish names as the Anglo-Saxons try to spell them. Callum for Calum, (possibly) Patrick for Padraic, Shaun for Se�n, and so on. Simply pick one to be the "Cetran" spelling, one to be the "Midgarian" spelling, and |

It's like theater/theatre, or labor/labour. |

But the problem with Aerith is that you sound like you have a lisp while you say it. So I could go either way, I guess. I call her Valvalis. Because it's a cooler name than Barbariccia. On topic, though, I prefer Aeris. It sounds like a much more realistic name, and just rolls off the tongue better And the lisp thing too. |

| I prefer 'Aeris'. I hate 'Aerith'. It sounds like someone with a lisp, trying to say Aeris. It just irritates me a little. EDIT: I see someone's already beat me to it.  |

| When I am playing FFVII, it's Aeris. (I pronounce it like the zodiac sign). In other games, and if a remake of VII ever appears, it's Aerith. Basically, I go with what the game says, which is why I prefer accurate translations. |

| Aerith. I got really used to it from playing Kingdom Hearts and Crisis Core, and Aeris just looks wrong to me now. I rename Aeris Aerith when I play FFVII now. |

| Aeris. It looks kind of pretty. |

| I call her Aeris since i her name is like that in the FFVII version i played and its easier to pronounce too |

| So it seems that the Law of First Impressions applies rather well to this dispute. |

It doesn't really matter whether it's Aeris or Aerith, but the official name is AERITH. Although most people don't want to sound like they have a lisp  |

| uhh... wasn't there already a topic about this a few years ago? Anyway, l'm going to go with Del S on this one. Both work, it's just a spelling thing l think. Kind of like with words like color/colour, and like the name kain/kaine/cane/kane/cain/caine/etc. lt's all good. |

| Its always been Aeris for me, looks nicer |

| I don't like how Aerith sounds. I say Aeris, I guess. |
| Posted by: GamblingCat 5th January 2011 20:39 |
| I've always used Aeris, thats what it was when the game initially came out and its what i've used for the past 10 years. I also pronounce Aeris like Aries as it is the first thing that came to mind i guess. |

| Aerith. The original. I refuse to throw my lot in with my fellow anglophone shitmunchers |
| Posted by: sweetdude 6th January 2011 17:28 |
| Aerith sounds awful. Aeris sounds like a starsign. I'll go with the one that sounds better and is generated by the game for the same reason I don't call Amarant his original Salamander name. |

Since I first saw her name as Aeris, I used to always say that. Now because of Crisis Core I tend to say Aerith. When I talk about CC I call her Aerith and Aeris when I'm talking about FFVII. lol.  Edit!: However now I constantly refer to her as Aerith! If I talk to my brothers (who originally started the Final Fantasy craze in our house after our Mom bought FFVII) I will say Aeris, the name I grew up with, now if talking to anyone else or particularly my friend, I say Aerith. Strange how time changes your mind. |

| My version says aeris so it'll always be aeris to me |

| The name Aeris sounds appropriate to me. It's a derivative spelling of the Greek goddess of dischord. One of the sisters of Ares and the jealous soul who started the Trojan War because she wasn't invited to a party. |
