[Opinions] Re: WDYTO the name Sakura? + What's your favorite way to pronounce it?

Sakura's a pretty name... and as an actual speaker of Jpns. "u" is not pronounced "o", but "u" like in tulip.
sa-ku-ra さくら 桜
Each sylable ends in a vowel... with the exception sometimes of "n" (which is a general nasal and may be altered a bit if a consonant following it changes the position of the mouth).
