how do you guys pronounce Kosi?

I meant to respond to you earlier - sorry for the delay!
I also haven’t found much about it, but I’ve posted podcasts, radio shows, etc. on SoundCloud, which I’ve voiced and produced, and I haven’t ran into any trouble as far as my voice goes. In fact, over a period of three years, they’ve had about 30,000 plays combined, compared to a combined 35 plays of old Nameberry challenges from six years ago (52 if you count my responses to them 
).
I do agree with [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], though; you always have the option to delete your recordings once the other Berries have heard them!

thank you! i’m torn between the two pronunciations (your first and third)… i’m not sure which one sounds better or what it would be more commonly received as…

I thought I posted this last night, but now I can’t find it, so here are some names that I thought of (If they’ve already been done, just tell me. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t worry about doing it again 
)
[name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_u]Calypso[/name_u]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] (Is it different for a girl and boy?)
[name_f]Felicia[/name_f]
Gaia
[name_m]Geoffrey[/name_m] (This one’s always confused me. Is it the same as [name_m]Jeffrey[/name_m], or different?)
[name_u]Maria[/name_u]
[name_f]Oralie[/name_f]
[name_u]Orion[/name_u]
[name_m]Sigmund[/name_m]

No problem! I would probably guess the first one, but I’m also not sure.
Hey Berries!
After quite a bit of thought, I’ve actually regretted deleting my files from here. When I first joined Nameberry three months ago, I came across this thread from early 2014 which included a SoundCloud link, and I wanted to hear the recordings that other Berries made pronouncing names on that list! However, I only found that all the tracks on that SC account had been deleted, so I decided to record the list using that account for others to hear. I eventually created an SC account for other Berries, but I’ve since deleted it now that direct uploads are possible here.
Because of my experience, I’ve decided to re-post all the recordings that I made here this past week for newcomers to this thread! Besides, I personally don’t mind sharing my voice and pronunciations with the world at all. I tried to sort it in chronological order as best I can.

Yay [name_m]Stuart[/name_m]! I’m glad you’ve reuploaded! I’ll go through and have a listen tomorrow 
I’m personally not worried about security as this is such a niche recording and can’t really be used for much else. People upload YouTube videos of themselves with their whole face and home in the background! This is relatively quite safe I reckon.
I’ll tackle some of the new names tomorrow as well!

So this was fun! 
I did the long list from [name_u]July[/name_u] 7, plus everyone’s additions since then. Sorry for a couple of pauses and corrections (my brain had to catch up with my mouth… oh and the last name really threw me on pronunciation - apologies if I butchered it). [name_f]My[/name_f] voice was also getting tired toward the end.
For context, I’m Australian (although I often get asked “where I’m from” so I don’t know that “sound” particularly Australian). Heritage-wise, I am half [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] and the other half is Scottish, Irish, [name_f]English[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] first language is [name_f]English[/name_f], and second language is (now very rusty) Spanish.
Update: it uploads the sound and then gives me an error message 
I’ll keep trying…

Maybe try multiple times when you try to post a response? I’ve noticed that it usually works around the fourth or fifth time that I try to upload a recording.
