Sapphira... how would you pronounce it?

[SmilePlease]

My neice has this name but people have a habbit of calling her 'Safira' like the name of a car but with a 'Z'... i don't think it is a very hard to remember or pronounce. Just Sapphire but with an 'a'.

[saff - eye - ra]
Also what's your opinion of the name?
I quite like it but partner reckons it's naff.

i would say it the same as the car.

I think the name would grow on me....heard worst!

Saff ear a

If you want to call your kid Sapphire, surely just call them Sapphire?

Sapphire Diamonda?

I'd say it should be pronounced Sapp-hera pr Sap-Fera because of the double p.

I would assume she was conceived in the back of a vauxall and pronounce it accordingly

I would have pronounced it like the car.
