I've always pronounced it Ex-zay-vee-er due to the Cabbage Patch Kids when I was little, the boy (or whoever he was) was called Xavier, if I remember correctly. Either way, his name for some reason was on the back ends. :P
Nope, I had not heard of X-Men until my teens when my sisters watched the cartoon, I watched a few episodes back them but really didn't remember any of the characters. I think Cabbage Patch Kids had a cartoon when I was a kid, so I likely heard it there...or when you do the 'adoption pledge' that came with your doll, mum would've read the name off like that.
