Help[Opinions] Re: Marcia
in reply to a message by Lissa Hannah
Marsha is nmsaa because the name Marcia is a feminine form of Marcus, and Marsha completely circumvents the Marcus connection imo by not resembling Marcus at all.
That said, today I would usually pronounce Marcia MAHR-sha. However, I prefer mahr-SEE-ah or MAHR-see-ah; and lately I've also been really liking the original Roman pronunciation, mahr-KEE-ah. Finally, there's MAHR-syah, a Spanish pronunciation that I find pretty, but that I'm not really crazy for right now
