Xochitl

How would you pronounce Xochitl if you aren't Latinx / BIPOC or familiar with the actual pronunciation? Does it sound melodious to the typical English speaker? Would you use it as a girl's name?

I think it’s a pretty name. Another name I liked is Itzel, from one of DD’s daycare classmates.

This but if handed a card to read in front of a public microphone with nowhere to turn, I'd say "ZO shitel"

Zo chittle, knowing that’s wrong, if I were forced to wing it. No, I wouldn’t use it in the US.

Love it! I saw it often in California and always liked it.

Do you anticipate that your daughter will spend her life in the US? If yes, I wouldn't use it.
