Pronunciation question

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you pronounce [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]? I’ve always thought it was ko-SEE-ma, stressing the second syllable, but I’ve never met anyone with this name and just read its listing here and it says KO-see-ma, which I assume means that the first syllable is stressed.

I think you can pronounce it either way. There’s a character on the TV show Orphan [name_m]Black[/name_m] and the other people pronounce it both ways. I would pronounce it CO-see-ma. It’s a pretty name.

I’ve only known one person by that name, and she pronounced it with the emphasis on the first syllable like @lightsea said.

It’s CAW-zee-ma (kind of like Cosby) or KO-zee-ma (like cozy)

I say CO-zee-ma. The o is short like in orange.

I just saw a blogger name her daughter this - Cozy for short - so I assume it’s pronounced Co - [name_f]Zee[/name_f] - Ma.

I’m the same as this, but with more of a ‘see’ sound :slight_smile:

Here we emphasize the first syllable. I actually find it really strange sounding the other.

I think cuh-SEE-muh is the prettiest pronunciation.
