How do you pronounce Joseph?

[fairybeagle]

Joe-sef or Joes-ef?

More like Joes-if.

Yusef

I always think its odd when prounced as if it has a 'z' in the middle. Joez-ef.
Other than that only ever heard Joe-seph.

Joe- sef

Jozeff

Hard s

Joes-ef. I get into trouble for this as the Mum of our family's Joseph pronounces it "Joes-if".

Another Joes-if here.

Joez-if

Jo-Zeff

Joes -ef

Should have been Joe-sef

Joe-Sef

Jooosif

I'm northern

Joe sef

Joe-cif

Joe-zef.

I dislike it with a soft 's' in the middle.

Joze-if

Joe-seff. Emphasis on the Joe with a soft seff.
I love the name because it is is so soft and gentle on the ear Mellifluous.

@MrsWednesdayteatime really? What northerner is saying joooooseph?

Joe-zif

It was my dad's name

If you care, don’t use it. It’ll drive you nuts!!

This is my son's name and my late father's middle name and we always say/said Joe-sef

Joe -seef (from somewhere midway between Manchester and Birmingham)

Its always pronounced Joe-seff here, with a soft s, in Ireland. I've only ever heard it pronounced with a z sound on British TV programmes, same with the name Denise.

Joe-zeff
