Aeris vs. Aerith
Let's disregard the fact that Aerith is the "official" spelling for the name, as well as the fact that it makes a clever anagram of "I Earth".

Based only on how they look and sound, which name do you prefer:

Aeris

OR

Aerith?

I prefer Aerith. I don't know, there's just something about the 'th.'

Hmm... I prefer Aeris because it sound more organic and natural to me. The "th" sound is a rare sound in languages and lots of us English speakers don't even realize it's hard for ESL learners to nail.

Yeah it is a rare sound in most languages. But for some reason I really like that dental-fricative on the end of words. I do agree that Aeris is more natural sounding though.

I prefer calling her "Aerith" because its easier to pronounce, for me.

I added a poll

I prefer Aerith to Aeris, simply because it looks nicer. Before i used to love the name Aeris and hate Aerith, but after talking to a certain Global Moderator on this forum (guess who ) for long enough, the name Aerith stuck with me

Aeris seems so natural to me because that is what she was called in the UK version.

Aeris is so much.. nicer in a way. Just prefer it, plus it's that way in my copy off FVII.

What's more, Aeris has a much cooler anagram - I Ears. It's just that much more awesome, I'm sure you'll agree. *nod*
