Re: Snezhana -- some questions
in reply to a message by Catzor
1. Not a big fan, it's dated here. I prefer Snjezana (z=zh) anyway. And all Snjezanas I know are in their late 30s or 40s.
2. I pronounce it like it should be pronounced - 'sneh-zhah-nah'
3. We use Snjeshka, Snezha, Zhana, Zhanka, Snjezhica, Snjezhanica as nicknames/diminutives.
4. I wouldn't use it in the US, not many English speakers would understand how zh is supposed to be pronounced. There are easier Slavic names to use, imo.
