When I first saw it I thought thee-oh-doe-see-ah. But after you mentioned it I think it's probably suppose to be said thee-oh-doe-sha, and I like the sound of thee-oh-doe-sha slightly more than the other.

Where are people getting the "oo" sound from?

---

I don't mean to be snotty. I'm truely curious.

---

I say "thee-uh-," but I can see how others would get "thee-oh-." I can't understand where anyone could get "thee-oo-" from. Is there a famous person who says it this way? Is this an authentic Greek pronunciaiton that I'm not familiar with?

Just wondering.

I absolutely love Theodosia! This name has been used in my family for generations. We personally pronounce it thee-oh-doe-sha. :)

thee-oo-doe-see-ah

I love it so much. :-D

thee-oo-doe-see-ah

Thee-oh-doe-zha.

I have never seen it before opening this post, and I first said it thee-o-doe-sha. But I could also see it being see-ah instead.

Neither. I would say thee-oh-DOE-sha.

"thee-uh-DOH-see-uh"

I pronounce it thee-oh-DOH-sha. I've never met one, but I have met a Theodosious and that was pronounced thee-oh-DOH-shus.

I pronounce it more like thee-ah-doe-sha. Just because it flows off my tongue better that way.

I think it it is thee-oo-doe-sha. I like it better that way.

I pronunce it thee-oo-DOE-see-ah. BTW I love this name!

It is pretty either way. I may like the other way more...
