About Ngozi
Mostly heard on girls, but we've met boys wearing the name, too.
Ngozi for girls
Dynamic and creative; common in Africa, challenging here. Pronunciation isn't as difficult as you'd guess, but everyone will have to ask. Many favor n-GO-zee, but a native speaker tells us that it is closer to n-GAW-zee, and we've found at least one n-GAH-zee, too.
Pronounced n-GO-zee.
