So, guys, I'm curious about how you pronounce Javier/Javi

VaxijVaxij
in The Walking Dead

Since it's a Spanish name, I'm curious about how English speakers pronounce it, and of course, I'm curious about how Clem and other characters will pronounce it, too. Imagine something funny like:

Clementine: "What's your name?"

Javier: "I'm Javier."

Clementine: "Ha~... What?"

Javier: "Um... Javier... But my friends call me Javi, though." (Little nod to Jesus XD)

Clementine: "...Huh-vee~... Come again?"

Javier: "...Nevermind, just call me Jay."

    Haw-vee-air. Hawvee. It's only weird if you make it weird.

    I assume it's pronounced with an X instead of J. I know an Javier in real life.

    My real name is Javier, too. My friends call me Javi, pronounced "HA-vee", but I'm from Spain so the pronunciations may be different.

    Well J in Spanish is pronounced like an H, and its the Spanish way of saying Xavier, so if I had to guess it be pronounced like Ha-Ve-Air

    I think the American counterpart might be Xavier. But I think Job said this character in particular is Javier, with a J, since he pronounced it kinda like "Ha-vee-air".

    The Xavier name I know in America pronounced 'X-zave-ver', such as Charles Xavier, Professor X.

    Javier is pronounced 'Ha-vee-air'.
