And it's the Australian way without "scare quotes". If you pronounce it zee, you're pronouncing it the American way. Aitch and haitch are both correct in Australian English, though. I say aitch.

I only say "zed", except for ZZTop. I was taught the singing alphabet with "zed" in it so I'm not sure why you'd need to change it for that.
I don't get the "I just say z". Do you say "zzzz", without any vowel? That sounds like a weird way to say it. |

I have no clue if I pronounce the H in "H" or not. I've been told I sometimes add H sounds to random words that start with a vowel or forget them when they should be pronounced. I'm going to say I'm inconsistent on whether I say "haytsh" or "aytsh".
French is "ash", incidentally. And "zed" for Z. |

I generally think of French speakers as pronouncing "H" as inbetween. You kind of have that aspirant/sighing at the beginning while English speakers will pronounce it as "aitch" with the first sound like the "a" in "ate" or an "h" sound like in "hate". That might be why some people hear you saying an extra "h" while others don't; they have different sensitivities to it. Like I know a British man who complains about younger people saying "wif" or "wiv" instead of "with", and yet he does it himself constantly. He just doesn't hear it when he does it.
