After an opinion. DH has Polish family and we were looking at Polish names. We have got down to the possibility of 2 and wondered what ‘public opinion’ would be.

So hit us- thoughts on Zosia or Joasia. Honest opinions appreciated 😊

Zosia is easier to pronounce for Brits (assuming you are in the UK). She'll get a lot of joe-a-sia or josie-a with Joasia.

Zosia, but also like Joasia!

Yes! The pronunciation @fruitbrewhaha has said is correct

So:
yo-a-sha
Zosha

And yes I guess it’s another version of Zofia, a bit like Katherine is Kasia in Polish 😊

Joasia is said yo a sha
Zosia is Zosha
I think

I prefer Zosia, is it a shortening of Zofia

I really like Zosia. I'm not sure how to pronounce Joasia... is it zo-ash-ya? Or Zo-sh-ya.
