I kept the name her birth mother gave her - I figured I'd rather teach people how to pronounce it (ahem!) than explain to a 13 yr old why I'd changed it!

Anyway - the Spanish pronunciation is see-oh-MAHDA - the 'r' in Spanish is pronounced like the tt in butter, or a soft d.

when that seems too complicated i just say the English pronunciation is see-oh-MARA
