How would you pronounce this?
Josette (with the s sound) or Jozette with more of a z sound?
Just curious- hubby and I don't agree

me too.

The name is French, and I know that the original French pronunciation would be with an s sound.
Kinda like this:

However, Americans are more likely to pronounce it with a z sound.
Just reading it in my head, I pronounce it with an S sound.
My brain knows it's supposed to be an S sound.
But when I say it out loud, it just comes out w/ a Z sound.
Unless I'm really trying to say it right, then I say it with an S sound, but when I do this, it sounds like I'm OVERpronouncing it with a French accent, and it sounds silly.
I say it with more of an "s" sound.
I love this name! I have a friend named Abigail Josette.
