I always pronouned it z-en (Or, zee-an)

But some people say x-i-an so they say it as its spelt

Zee-An. That's how it goes through my mind, if it's correct or not, I don't really care.

lol give up, x is one sound in chinese that people from the west cannot pronounce b/c of the way their tongues are trained. the closest i can think of is somewhere in between "see" and "she". lol...

Talk about YOUR western. On my language, Xian is pronounced the way it is on chinese.
