How would you pronounce Cosima?
I also like Eloise... Any thoughts?

Prefer Eloise, or better still Elise.

Eloise is lovely, also like Louisa.

I much prefer it to Claudia and Cordelia which are popular on MN.

Cosima. Hmmm. Maybe it would sit better if this were continental europe. I'm afraid I am reminded of pants, probably incontinence ones.

Perhaps too near gossamer?

Not so keen on Cosima. Know a Sima and i think that's pretty.

Cosima is horrid. Eloise is much nicer.

CAWZ-i-ma Here's an example of German pronunciation

I adore this name. I would choose it over just about anything.
