Is that how you pronounced it or the child? Zulema is actually a popular Hispanic name, but it's not pronounced in that way...more like "sue-le-ma." So i'm just wondering if they just tried to anglicize the pronunciation or if that is how they meant it.

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...
