How would you pronounce this name?

[MassNole]

My son's name keeps getting mispronounced by people, I though it was fairly obvious but people never cease to surprise me.

So which way would you pronounce Zandre? As Zon-Dray or Zan-Der?

Zon-Dray.

Zon-Dray

The reason I chose that was I know a few people named Andre. And this is just that with a z in front of it.

That's my reasoning as well.

So are we right?

EDIT: I see you voted for the other one. I guess it isn't quite as obvious as you thought. Sorry dude.

If you were going with Zan-der, you should have spelled his name Xander. I think the Z and the last three letters confuse the majority of people.

Although, as a Canadian, I do appreciate the "re" instead of the "er."

Re: How would you pronounce this name?

I put the public vote option to see where people who picked Zan-der would be from (which is correct). I come from Vermont where words ending in er, like center or theater are interchangeably centre and theatre (which spellcheck picks up as incorrect btw). We went with the Russian spelling of Alexzandre or traditionally Alexander.

For those who've answered or will answer, had you seen the full name Alexzandre would you have gone with Zan-der?

Yeah. That pretty much hits the nail on the head.

With all do respect, why would you spell it with an "re" instead of an "er/ar"? You didn't think that would confuse anyone?

After seeing the full name I would have gone with Zan-der.

With his full name I didn't.
