Re: Sonia
in reply to a message by ?
SAHN-yə.
If I gave this name to a future daughter, would she spend her life correcting people on how to say it? Maybe, since apparently SO-nyə / SON-yah is a thing in several languages, plus some people might read it as three syllables. But the SAHN-ya pronunciation is common where I'm from.
Does Sonya have the same sound as Sonia? Yes, and I prefer the Y version.
Do you like this name and would you use it? Like it, wouldn't use it.
