That's my mom's name. It's pronounced so - chill

Find a different name.

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

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

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

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

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

So-cheel.

I would pronounce it Zo-chittel.

Zo-chill

Ho-Chit-Ill.

I would ask how to pronounce it before attempting it myself.

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?
