The original (and variable) pronunciations of this name are 'So-CHee-TL' /so̞ˈt͡ʃi.t͡l/ in Mexican Spanish and 'SHo-CHee-TL' /ʃo̞ˈt͡ʃi.t͡l/ in its original Nahuatl pronunciation, ('o' here stands for the O as in Octopus). Now the TL sound (Voiceless Dental-alveolar lateral affricate; t͡ɬ) consists on an Rough T like in 'Time' (Voiceless dental-apical stop; t) rather than the American T in 'kitty' or in 'infinity' (alveolar tap; ɾ), and the L which it is pronounced like an L pronounced swiftly after the T doing a tap and then an L and as an "lateral H" I mean like pronouncing 'HL' making a little obstruction of air throughout the teeth (without making a stop) which sounds like an H (Voiceless dental-alveolar lateral fricative; ɬ). And not an mute L etc.. I know this may be a little confusing but I wanted to tell how it is pronounced in Mexico accurately.For further info visit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Nahuatl Nahuatl is a bit complex sometimes, with 3 different ortographies and many different Nahuatl dialects as well. Thank you for reading all this. :D [noted -ed]
Pronounced "so-cheel" Nicknames can be "soch" or "so-chee" Very unique and easy to remember name Some girls in California have this name, including me.
This name is meant to be pronounced Ho-chee-tl; not So-chee or So-shee.

I see that others pronounce it differently, but I've always pronounced it as so'chul. My nickname is Xochie, pronounced so'chee. There is a new tortilla chip on the market (here in Texas) named Xochitl, but pronounced so'shee.
