HelpRe: Arkadii, Arkadi, Arkadiy, Arkady
in reply to a message by Laurenzia
I love it! I prefer it spelt Arkadiy
Arkadii should be legitimate because the last letter of the original Cyrillic is usually written as a y in the English alphabet, because it combines with vowels to create certain sounds or in this case lengthen the end sound, however, it is frequently written as an i as well, like in the cases of Andrei (versus Andrey) and Dmitrii (versus Dmitriy).
Arkadii Samir is awesome. Samir is a very handsome name and they sound well together.
ETA: Ummm... when I copy pasted the Cyrillic it didn't stay the same, so I took it out, but you can see the last letter in the other alphabets thing where the name is linked to it.

Thanks, that's really interesting about the Cyrillic. It's a shame they never copy-paste the same, I always find that when I'm working in Japanese-- thanks for trying though!
Arkadiy does look so interesting, although maybe he isn't the most practical option. :-P
Thanks so much for your comments!
