This is how I would pronounce it:

Col (as in "call")
ar (as in "er")
ross (as in "toss" or "Boss")
y (as in "eee")

With the emphasis on ROSS

Your second guess is correct, as in roses.

I think its probably down to accent and how you would read it but i would pronounce it COL-a-ROSS-i like COL-a-rado

Coh - lah - ROH- see (trill the "r"). Or as you write, ColaROsi. The vowels short and clear. ?

Sara E above is right. ?
