Either, like the word? You either have to watch tv or go to bed! ???

You want to name your son a correlative conjunction? You must be really into part of speech.

how can you not know how to pronounce the word either?

Surely it’s either eether or ayther.

I’ve heard the word either pronounced both ways. I say it the first way, my son’s friend says it the second way. My son actually says it both ways depending on who he’s with.

It’s a word, though, not a name. There are far better names out there.

Lol, poster 5.

The strength of the ’th’ sound doesn’t change...
EE-ther or EYE-ther right?
Or Aether...

Or don’t name your child that.

Ither

Neither nor sounds good to me. That or either or

I would say it like the word eye-ther or ee-ther. I would spell it Ayther or something similar, because I definitely wouldn’t have got your pronunciation no matter how many times I guessed. Plus, I don’t think it’s attractive at all.
