KOZ-ih-muh

---

I want to pronounce it "KOZ-ih-muh".

---

One of the clones on Orphan Black is named Cosima, but pronounced "kuh-SEE-muh". For a while I thought her name was Qasima.

---

I love it, actually. Either pronunciation. It's definitely usable - why not?

I pronounce it KOZ-ih-ma. I think it's usable in the U.S. but people will probably pronounce it in various different ways.

---

There was a Cosima Caroline Heather in the BAs I recently posted, which I thought was an interesting combo.

I say KO-zi-ma. I think it is usable. I recently came across a birth announcement in the UK for a baby girl with this name.

I pronounce Cosima as cos-ee-mah.

---

I don't live in the US, but I would use it here in Australia, so I think it is definitely usable in the US.

Charlotte Cosima
Edith Cosima
Imogen Cosima
Jessamine Cosima
Josephine Cosima
Mary Cosima

Prior to Orphan Black I was saying it KOH-sih-mah, but after watching Orphan Black I now say it kuh-SEE-mah, like they do on the show, and I find I like it better that way anyway.

---

I do think it's usable in the US, though I'm sure it'll get all kinda of mispronunciations. Not that "normal" names don't get those too though tbh

I would pronounce it Kaw-si-mah.
