Thoughts please on Cosima for a girl?

Also... wait for it... Merrily? (My guilty pleasure name Wink)

Cosima is a lovely and distinctive choice. Merrily is fun!! but only for the middle spot.

Pronounced COZ-ee-ma. The single S is always more like a Z in Italian, the difference between casa and cassa. Just as we say cosmos- same roots. The Orphan Black character has the stress wrong.

Congrats

I went to school with a Merrily and she was quite a miserable character.. didnt pull it off well! Cosima nn Mimi is lovely

It makes me think of Cosima Liszt/Wagner. It’s fine - not a massive ‘fan’ but I don’t dislike it either.

Cosima is lovely. Really underused and cool. Merrily is an Amish housewife.

Love Cosima! Lovely well to do name. Not keen on Merrily though (or any ‘feeling’ names) - my middle name is one and I’ve never loved it

Love Cosima. I know a German one who pronounces it CO sima.

Love Cosima OP

I’d pronounce it as COZ- e- ma. Because that’s how I heard pronounced by some one Italian.

Would get shortened to COZ, cozzie ..

It is a pretty name but I think the ss would quickly get replaced with zz
