Can I get your opinions please on the name Shoshanna? I think its lovely but I want to make sure that I'm getting the pronounciation right.
I met someone with this name recently who pronounced it Shoh-sha-na, but I'm sure that in Inglorious Basterds its spelt the same way and pronounced more like Sosh-ha-na
But I may just be misremembering the film...
Anyone?

I know its ancient and everything but the Shana bit sounds v 80s to me.

Have you read this on imdb

"Incorrectly regarded as goofs: SPOILER: Though Mélanie Laurent's character's first name is spelled Shosanna, the various characters throughout the film pronounce her name "Shoshana". Most notably Col. Landa when he shouts "Au Revoir, Shoshana!" as she runs away after her family is killed. In fact, the character's name is clearly spelled "Shoshanna" in the portfolio carried by Col. Landa and which he uses for a checklist for the Jews hidden in that home. The discrepancy between the spelling in the film's credits and the spelling/pronunciation in the film itself can only be explained as deliberate."
