Apparently, the C in "ci" is a hard stop in Latin, so it'd be cu-lee-kee-dae. Or if you believe the Church, it'd be cu-lee-chee-dae. I think the "cu" is similar to "cou" in french. I'm not clear on the "dae", but I think it sounds a bit like dah-eh, but the a is short.

Well as it's Latin, it's not 'ae' but 'æ' as in my name.

well, so how is it pronounced in your name? I know the pronunciation of the Spanish Leticia name (it's just a Spanish E, like a french É) ... does that help?

so we'd end up with something like cou-lee-kee-deh
