Re: Italian Names ...
in reply to a message by Bear
It's not too far off for a language nerd to become a name nerd either, as is the case with me! - These names are so pretty. I pronounce Jacinta as ha-SEEN-ta (a woman from my Masters program was named this, she was from Galicia, Spain and is so sweet). Giacinta would be pronounced ja-CHEEN-ta in Italian.

Holy "ci" is pronounced "chee," Batman
How could I forget that? I never studied Italian, but I am aware of the "chee" factor. That's what I get for studying French. Thanks for the gentle correction.
