Hosea pronunciation

Boy Names

I was going to put this in the quick poll thread, but honestly, I’m really tired and I can’t be bothered to think of all the possible pronunciations of this name, so this is just easier. :slightly_smiling_face:

So: How would you pronounce [name_m]Hosea[/name_m]?

I say it ”ho-zay-uh” and have always thought that that pronunciation was pretty obvious, but now that I look at the name, I’m questioning it?

It’s more like Ho-zie-uh where I’m from but I wouldn’t be surprised by Ho-zay-uh.

ho-ZAY-uh is how I’d say it, and is also the only way I’ve ever heard it pronounced.
