I have just come across this pretty name and am thinking of it as a middle name. Off the top of your head, how would you pronounce it?

I know how it is pronounced but want to make sure other people know iykwim.

Thanks

I am putting an R in it because I am middle class. I also put Rs in bath, grass, and France.
