I’d pronounce it Graphics Interchange Format Friend

anything besides the peanut butter pronunciation sounds weird

I suppose I would pronounce it like, “Giff”.

Probably like the peanut butter, because I wouldn’t want it to be confused with my gorilla with the name spelled the same way, but pronounced with a hard ‘g’ sound.

I would pronounce it as stupid long horses.

I would pronounce it with a Ezh (Ʒ) (the sound in pleasure), as that’s the sound we use to pronounce it in my language.

I’d quit using nicknames because of my lack of creativity and style

“Giraffe” etymologistically speaking has roots in the Middle East, giving it a “je” sound: jarraf, zarafa, et al

So if it’s “Giff” like “giraffe” - /dʒɪf/ - soft g like “George”. If it’s named after someone with a name like Kathy Lee Gifford, then hard G.

I would pronounce it Harold

Giff, the double f means hard g to me. Whereas the single f in gif demands a soft g.

I would pronounce it like Giraffe without the ra - unlike the GIF file format which is like Gift without the t.

If the only reason to pronounce it ‘jif’ is because of the context of it being a giraffe, then its a bad name and it also kinda proves the point of everyone who says that ‘gif’ shouldn’t be pronounced ‘jif’.
