How do you pronounce Osias?

Would you say Oh-sigh-as or Ahz-i-as? Or some other way?

Could I use [name_u]Si[/name_u] (prn Sigh) as a nickname? I do not like [name_m]Oz[/name_m] or [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m].

[name_m]Will[/name_m] people constantly misread this name as Oasis?

The same as [name_m]Ozias[/name_m], except with an “s” sound instead of a “z” sound. So “oh-sigh-us.” [name_m]Osias[/name_m] does look a bit like a type of Oasis… and you might get “oh-see-us” from time to time.

I would say Oh-sigh-us.

I’d pronounce it “oh-sigh-us”. [name_u]Si[/name_u] definitely works as a nickname and people might mistake it as Oasis once in a while but I don’t think it’d be really common.

I’d say ‘oh-sigh-us’. [name_u]Si[/name_u] is a great suggestion which would work perfectly.

oh-SIGH-us. [name_u]Si[/name_u] is a good idea, although [name_m]Sy[/name_m] might be less likely to be mispronounced. [name_u]Si[/name_u] could be ‘see’.

Thanks, everyone! I am glad that I am pronouncing it right and that you all like [name_u]Si[/name_u] (or [name_m]Sy[/name_m]) as a nickname!
