Best Answer

The correct pronunciation is "Sowthey". Jack Simmonds, in his biography of Robert Southey (Collins, London, 1945) states (page 9): 'There should be no doubt as to the proper pronunciation of the name: "Sowthey". The poet himself complained that people in the North would call him "Mr Suthy". ' Byron showed that he knew better when he rhymed Southey with "mouthy" (Don Juan, Canto 1, Stanza 205) .
