The child interestingly enough. When I first read it I said "Zu-Leem-a" and she cringed so I asked her to sound it out for me and the "lame" pronunciation is what she gave me. I met the mom at the end of the week who was from Spain, but she only ever called her "Zuzu". Perhaps there is an 11 year old somewhere laughing at how silly she made me look for a week...
