HelpRe: Nadejda/Nadezhda
in reply to a message by Caitlín
I prefer the spelling Nadejda too - the "zh" spelling just looks like it's phonetic in English, and it's sort of too phonetic.
I think it's a lovely name. I like many consonant sounds that are unusual in English, like that "dezhd" part. I don't think it's too much to ask English speakers to say. I'm afraid I'm pretty disconnected from the name's cultures though. I only recently ran across it for the first time, actually, when I figured out that Nadia comes from Nadejda.
Silvan Sky and Soren Rain are alright, only I'd make Silvan a boy name; Blue River is too corny and Pele .. well, maybe for a dog, but it's too silly to use Pele for a boy imo. Everyone's heard of Pele. Can't the kid have his own identity? Oh well. It's a cool name.
