Pronunciation of Gaia

[Gachetemas]

I have been wondering how this word is pronounced. It looks like it should be GUY uh, and I think the goddess can be either JEE uh or GAY uh, and can be spelled Gaea. In my mind it is either of the first two. What do you think?  

[~Natures Child~]

Guy-ah..
Like like Say on Final Fantasy the Movie..

I was actually wondering that same thing the other day ^^
I think it's guy-uh.  

[Ame Yuki Kaze]

It's pronounced Guy-ah. Gaia means Earth. We get our word "geography" from it.

It's pronounced Guy-ah. Gaia means Earth. We get our word "geography" from it.

Gaia is also An ancient Goddess.

Really? I didn't know that. How about contributing something useful, like why you think it is pronounced the way you pronounce it. There is no wrong answer. Go ahead. Please.

Some time ago, I read a Greek mythology book which only gave (JEE uh). I went along with it, even though it was tempting to say (GUY uh). Then I got curious, did some research, and started this thread. To this day, I still say it both ways. And I'm still a curious little monkey.  

[Elanchana]

Yeah. I call it "Ga-ya".

I pronounce it "guy-uh" because I keep thinking of Escaflowne.

When I started, I called it gay-uh. The habit died hard, and I still do.
