  Judging by the grammar (a, an) preceeding the word "Xanthia" some say it one way, some say it another.
  
  I prefer to say Xanthia as "Zanthia." ... A Xanthia theme...
  
  Some prefer to say it as "Egzanthia." ... An Xanthia theme...
  
  What say you?

  I say : A [gz]Xanthia theme :)
  
  You could also say KSanthia like TaXi or Zanthia like eXams...
  
  I use the gz in this case.

  I had an interesting phone conversation recently where the party on the other end said "PostNUKE" with the "Nuke" part stressed... I'd always thought that the "Post" part was stressed...ie, POSTnuke...
  
  Funny how we interpret things...

  I always pernounced it "exanthia" but zanthia sounds much better. I think I'm going to start calling it that.

  I think Zanthia sounds better too... somehow more streamlined.

  I'm glad to see I apparently say it like most everyone else does - Zanthia. Who named it, anyway? phpNut?

  I've always assumed that phpNut named it...but not sure. I wonder how he (or whoever actually dubbed it) meant for it to be pronounced?

  A quick Google search comes up with this page: http://www.helephant.com/creatures/names.php
  
  That's about the best I could do.... nothing too helpful at dictionary.com or wikipedia.org.
