We’re not having a baby but I figured you all could help solve this debate between me and dh:-

Marcia:-

Mar see a or
Marsha?

Or can it be both?

I think it's usually "marsha" which is a bit unfortunate--"marsh" isn't the nicest connotation.

Thanks all.

Looks like it could be either but “Mar see a” (my choice) seems to be slightly more popular so I’m going to chalk that one up as a win!

Mar-see-ah

Marsha

Mar see a definitely!
I know someone called Marcia and Marsha! So I wouldn't pronounce them the same

In English -icia (Patricia, Alicia, Marcia etc) can be pronounced-isha or -eecea. Just tell people how you want it pronounced.

I'd pronounce it mar-see-ah and I like the name it's great

Never seen that name before. I jumped straight to Mar-see-uh, but second thought was Marsh-uh
