Definantly Aerith. It just looks so much more elegant and prettier in my opinon. Not to mention it is the official spelling, though the pronunciation is Aeris, Aerith looks better. I really wish Square wouldn't have spelled the name like that in the game and just kept it Aerith. It almost reminds me of Earth when I look it. Such a beautiful name.

Aerith for me. Well actually, I guess it doesn't matter to me. I like the sound of Aerith when I say her name, (and I do have a habit of saying "Aerith") but when I started the game again, I still named her Aeris...I guess it looks much more appealing to me. Simple and cute.

i think aeris is better just because it seems more like a normal name then aerith...aerith just sounds like someones trying to say aeris but has a lisp.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder if my preference for Aeris is only due to the fact that I'm used to it. Like some people said, to me, "Aerith" sounds like Aeris a lisp. But maybe if I had heard the name Aerith first, I would think "Aeris" sounds like Aerith with a Japanese accent.

It's Aeris. That's how it is in Final Fantasy 7. I don't know where they changed it, or why, but the name in the game of which she is from, the spelling is "Aeris."

To me, "Aerith" is just annoying. I think it's very snobbish to say it any other way than it was in the game.

At first I always liked Aeris better, but lately, Aerith just looks better and sounds nicer to me

No it isn't. Aerith is the correct way to say her name. I believe that is how it is pernounced in the Japanese version...and that is where the game was made. In Advent Children it was also Aerith.

For my opinion: I never knew her real name was Aerith until a couple years ago. I always called her Aeris till then, now I think Aerith is a much better name, it sounds nicer and looks prettier.

Considering that there were no voice-overs in Final Fantasy 7, I don't know how you can be so sure that this is the way it is pronounced in the Japanese version...

Regardless, the game that the rest of the friggin world played featured a girl named Aeris, not Aerith. You can call her what you want, but IN THE GAME her name was Aeris.

That's all a matter of opinion, but I personally think Aerith sounds like you're trying to say "Aeris" with a lisp. And I find it awfully pompus that people called her Aeris for ten friggin years, only to change it to Aerith later. That's dumb and elitist, if you ask me.
