How do you guys pronounce all of the names of the characters and GFs?
Squall - Pretty easy. Skwall is how I say it.
Quistis - I say Kee-Stus but some say Kwiss-tiss
Zell - This one is said the way it's spelled
Seifer - I say See-Fur but it's supposedly pronounced Cy-Fur
Rinoa - I pronounce it the way it's spelled.
Irvine - I say Err-Vine but some say it Err-Veen
Selphie - Selfy
Quezacotl - Kay-Za-Coat-ull
Shiva - Shee-Va
Ifrit - If-rit but some say Ai-Frit
Some of the Summons are really easy to say (brothers and diablos) and some I haven't gotten yet so i'm not gonna mention them. So how do you guys say their names?

Also, most of the GF's are named for gods from ancient mythology. For example: Odin is Norse, Quetzecotl is for the Aztecs (pronounced Ket-ze-cot-el (or something like that)), Shiva I believe is Hindu, etc, etc. The ones who aren't named from mythology are pretty simple, like Brothers or Cactuar.

Squall - Skwall
Zell - Like its spelled

Seifer - Sigh-fur
Raijin - Rye-Shin

Quistis - kwist-is
Quezacotl - Kayz-uh-cot-uhl
Xu - zoo
Esthar - Es-thur
Balamb - Buh-lam
Seifer I used to pronounce Sef-i-er. I think I was just lazy and misread the spelling and just got used to it.

For Our Lord Sheogorath, without Whom all Thought would be linear and all Feeling would be fleeting. Blessed are the Madmen, for they hold the keys to secret knowledge. Blessed are the Phobic, always wary of that which would do them harm. Blessed are the Obsessed, for their courses are clear. Blessed are the Addicts, may they quench the thirst that never ebbs. Blessed are the Murderous, for they have found beauty in the grotesque. Blessed are the Firelovers, for their hearts are always warm. Blessed are the Artists, for in their hands the impossible is made real. Blessed are the Musicians, for in their ears they hear the music of the soul. Blessed are the Sleepless, as they bask in wakeful dreaming. Blessed are the Paranoid, ever-watchful for our enemies. Blessed are the Visionaries, for their eyes see what might be. Blessed are the Painlovers, for in their suffering, we grow stronger. Blessed is the Madgod, who tricks us when we are foolish, punishes us when we are wrong, tortures us when we are unmindful, and loves us in our imperfection.
