Portuguese spelling

How would you pronnounce [name_f]Serena[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]?
I love this names but i’d much rather the portuguese pronnounce. “SEH-REH-NAH AND LU- C - IA”

I would automatically pronounce them as suh-REE-na" and “loo-SEE-a”, but would be easily corrected!

Suh-ree-nuh and Lu-chee-uh (but I think most people I know would pronounce it Lu-see-uh, I just like the other best). Still, I could be corrected :slight_smile:

instinctively, i’d pronounce them seh-REH-nah and loo-CHEE-ah!

suh-ree-nuh and loo-see-uh (also like loo-shuh)!!

I do prefer the seh-ren-uh pronunciation, it’s just not my first thought when seeing/reading the name!
