Comments (Pronunciation Only)

I know a girl with this name and she pronounces it KOH-zi-muh.
Pronounced cho-SEE-ma.
My name is pronounced, KO-seema.
I was "blessed" with the name 65+ years ago and it has been an adventure, to say the least. Being the daughter of a parent who liked to move a lot, new schools were very common and that first roll call was an embarressment for me. The teacher would get to the R's (first letter of my last name) and just stop. Gee, who could that be? By the time the teacher decided to try pronouncing it everyone was curious and I wanted to crawl out the door rather than raise my hand. I'm sure that my character has been strongly affected by the name but when I give my name at service counters, I tell them it's Carol.
I have a family member (who is Sicilian) who pronounces it "cuh-SEE-mah."
