well,it's hard to explain but fai sounds chinese to me...hmm, because a chinese word often used in names is "directly translated" as "fai"......and i can't help pronouncing it in the chinese way, i'm too used to it :P

I came across Fye first, so I've just stuck with it. Plus I'm just being stubborn, I don't like how Fai looks!

Thanks babypiggy for the set!! <3

Fai because i don't know his name in Kanji so thats how i would write it in katakana...also Fai sounds so foriegn and original...also its how Del Ray manga spells it so im most used to it
also for near me there is Music store called FYE so i don't wanna spell it like that

It's true, there is no kanji for Fai. Since the name is foreign, it's only written in katakana.

And wingless_godess, there's one of those f.y.e stores near me, too, so I can't spell it that way without thinking about that, either! XD

I'm stuck with Fai cause Fay and Faye are actually pronounced like "day" at least here in my country and I'm think Fye looks strange in computer. But honestly speaking, Fye looks so much better since it looks foreign which fits Fai's character perfectly.
CLAMP has good fashion sense.....e_e

i'm not sure if it's because del rey put "Fai" as his name first...(i think they still do actually...-can't find tsubasa books-  :dodge:)
Fai just sounds more authentic japanese-ish...YES i know he's supposed to be foreign...but the other spellings just scream at me... :sweatdrop:

in season 1, thats how Tofusensei spelled it. then he switched to Faye (O_o) i think he meant "Fay" which is the anime offical spelling, according to fais comercial bumps. but the official splling, is indeed FAI.

Live Evil and DB used 'Fye' because that's what Be With You  used and they were the first people scanlating the manga.  Until recently they were the only group doing TRC so 'Fye' has stuck in a lot of people's minds.

The official way is Fay.  That's how it's spelled during th e anime's commerical breaks and I've seen some stuff from CLAMP where it's spelled that way.

Fai, I'm not sure where it came from. (English manga perhaps?)

I'm so used to using 'Fai' ^^; So I find it hard for me to use the spelling 'Fye'. I suppose I'm so used to it because that's how they spell it in the english manga.

Rekall: The spelling "Fai" comes from the romanization of Fai's name. In Japanese, his name is written with the characters "Fu-a-i" with the "a" small. When there is a small character immediately after a regular sized one, it's sound takes the place of the previous characters' ending sound. (Changing "Fu" to "Fa," in this case.) Which makes the romanization "Fai."

Wow, I made that sound way more complicated than it actually is.. Sorry, I suck at explaining things like that.. ^_^;;;

No, no one has ever spelled it like that.. ^_^;; That's FWR's name... I have NO idea why it's in this poll! XD

How could "F-e-i" ever be pronounced "F-a-i?" XD
