How would you pronounce the name Zaria?

Is it obvious that it's supposed to be pronounced zar-ree-ah?

Thanks in advance

Like Maria, Aria, etc. I'd be happy to be corrected but my initial pronunciation would be Zah Ree Ah

tokyotea · 15/05/2022 10:41

Zaa-Ree-Ah

Jaxinthebox · 15/05/2022 10:41

same as maria I think.

I'd pronounce it how you want it pronounced.

I wouldn't pronounce it to rhyme with Maria.

LoveSpringDaffs · 15/05/2022 10:37

I would have said it as you describe, but you'll definitely get variations like Zuh ree Ah & Zara i ah, but does it really matter from strangers?

my name is pretty common place, but pronounced quite differently depending on peoples regional accents.

I think I would have said 'zaa-ree-a'. sorry! Once corrected though it would be fine.

Threetulips · 15/05/2022 10:33

Zar ee a

stopwaitingforpermissiontobeyou · 15/05/2022 10:33

I thinn I would say it like '-Zahhh-re-H)with emphasis on the za.

Its tough because Maria and Aria are pronounced differently.

I love the name though!

Zah ree ah
