HelpRe: Names you have mispronounced or misunderstood

Cassia - like it pronounced CAS-ee-uh but not said as "casha"
Corinna - disappointed to find it pronounced REEN and not RIN in the middle.
Georgia - used to think it had three syllables. Still like it, though.
Kezia - used to think it was KEH-zee-uh and don't like it pronounced to rhyme at the end with "higher"

The only Kezia I know pronounces it KEE-zee-uh. I was surprised when I found out it's usually keh-ZIE-uh.

I was at school with a Keziah who pronounced it Keh-zee-uh so that's how I've always assumed Kezia(h) was pronounced. I've never heard anyone say it any differently. I'm wondering if one is the British and one the American pronunciation? Like I'm sure Cassia would be Cass-ee-uh here, but Americans tend to say Cash-uh.

Ditto with Cassia. I know it's "casha" but in my head I always say CAS-ee-uh.
