HelpRe: Nausicaa
in reply to a message by RegalAmethyst
I like it too, it reminds me of the word "musical" and "nautical" at the same time, so I think of the sound of the ocean when I see it, and the dark, angry navy colour of a rough sea. But it kinda looks, at first glance, like it should be said in a way that evokes the word "nausea", which is really too bad.
I'd say it "NAW-sih-sah" or "naw-SEE-say" or "NAW-see-say", but I bet those are waaaayyyyyyyyyy off.

I think its resemblance to nausea is why I like the nahf-si-kah pronunciation so much. I get the same kind of "sound of the ocean" feeling, but I think of a kinder sea. That's one of the great things about this name. It's rough and smooth.
NAW-sih-sah kind of reminds me of Narcissa. What I wouldn't do to have that name become socially acceptable first name material. Nausicaa and Narcissa. Too close? =)
