    New video too. I very recently heard him say his own name for some charity blurb or something and took note. It's Ay-ment (or, as a Canadian, I say it's Eh-ment). We've gotta go with how he pronounces his own name I think! ;) So swear to god, that's how Jeff says it, so I think the matter is settled! Luckily the correct pronunciation feels most natural to me.

    Sorry, I have no memory of where I found it. I found in the course of doing an extensive search about how to pronounce his name, but once I confirmed how he pronounced it, I didn't bother remembering what he speaking for, since my question was answered and I was satisfied! (seriously though, I really did hear it :lol:). I'm sure you'll stumble upon it too if you search around. He's said his name probably dozens of times on camera.

    I've listened to PJ Radio on Siruis and there are breaks with Jeff and he says "Hi, this is Jeff Ament - that's A-ment - and you're listening to Pearl Jam radio".
    "There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
    "Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
    "Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."

    Maybe it's an ongoing inside joke...
    I'm pretty sure Eddie called him "Jeff Lament" at the end of Isle of Wight 2012. :D

    I think Jeff should just change his last name. Is 'Smith' taken?!
