well, just curious...^^"
i'd prefer Fye, probably since it gives me an exotic feeling.....

Fai's the direct translation from his Japanese name.

I guess that's why I chose it.

I'm use to spelling his name "Fai", but somehow now I spell his name "Fay" because when I brought the official TRC fanbook it is spelt "Fay" and even the ofiicial Japanese DVD's spell it "Fay" too, so I think thats the correct way of spelling his name.

I spell it "Fai" because that's they way you'd have to write on the keyboard to write the name in Japanese....(aka romaji of the name)

Going with 'Fai' since that's the translated spelling in the English Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle manga

Well, the official spelling IS "Fay" according to the guides and merchandise, etc.. But I usually write "Fai" because like Mina said, when I TYPE "Fai" in Japanese that's the easiest way to do it.. But not only is it typed that way, but that is the correct romanization of those characters.

So I guess I'm going by more of a translation of the name instead of the "official" way.. Also, "Fay" just looks like it's pronounced as if it rhymes with "say" to me, and that bothers me...

So I use it sometimes ((since it IS official...)), but not often...

And I have no idea where "Fye" even came from... I don't get that one at all... O.O I mean, I see how it LOOKS like it's pronounced the same, but I still wonder who made it up! XD

Fye... because of the german translation.
And I think, it looks better than Fai or Fay ^^

Time-Machine · « **Reply #7 on:** April 10 2006, 05:30 am »

Haha...I use almost all of them interchangably. I think I probably use Fai and Fye the most, but I have also used Fay and Faye. It actually probably has the most to do with whoever posted before me who I'm responding to...I tend to spell it the way I most recently read it without thinking about it. ^^;;

I usually use Fai. I just like it.

moezychan · « **Reply #9 on:** April 10 2006, 07:05 am »

Never really thought about it, but I guess I use Fai. It looks the way it's pronounced.

I usually go with Fye, since I first encountered his name spelled like that. I couldn't go with Fay, official as it may be, since it makes me want to pronounce it rhyming with "day". Then, as said, Fai is how it is written in kana... The spelling Fai looks so happy to me, probably because it makes me think of "wai", whereas Fye represents our magician's sadness for me. Or something like that.

Becster · « **Reply #11 on:** April 11 2006, 02:03 am »

Fai.

From reading the manga, I've just gotten used to it like that. So if I ever see a subtitled ep of Tsubasa and it says 'Fay' I'll be going 'WHAAAADDDT?!?! NO. DON'T CONFUSE MY BRAIN!!!! ;_;'

...But...yeah. I spell it 'Fai' 'cause of Del Ray's manga translations.

Shiunu · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11 2006, 12:41 pm »

There's like too many ways to spell it. I always get frustrated because everywhere I go someone always spells it different. It never seems to fail. Lol

Time-Machine · « **Reply #13 on:** April 11 2006, 12:58 pm »

It would be a little easier if there was just one way to spell it, because then if you want to do a search for one particular thing about him, or a site or image that you found earlier, you don't have to do it four times over...

Sayora Chan · « **Reply #14 on:** April 12 2006, 12:08 am »

I read the Manga long before I found the anime and it was always spelled Fai. I don't mind the Fye spelling but the others just seem too weird.

SasukeRocks · « **Reply #15 on:** April 12 2006, 12:51 am »

I just spell it Fai

ricochet · « **Reply #16 on:** April 15 2006, 01:28 pm »
