HelpRe: Hania, Jovanka and Nash
in reply to a message by Sabina
1) I don't like Nash, but I don't think it's TOO "gnash" / macho. If I just randomly heard it, I might think it was 'gnash', but if I knew it was a name I'd think it was Nash. It's not my favorite, but I think it's better than names like Cash and Stryker. I like Ash, by the way.
2) Wow, I never notices the "you ---" thing before. :o But actually, I still like Jovanka better. I'm not sure about which pronunciation of hers, if any, would be authentic, but in my mind they're all better than Josephine. I'm not a Josephine fan at all for some reason... although I like Josefina. Iovanka seems like it's mock-Greek almost, like Iason / Jason and Iocasta / Jocasta.
3) I like all of the options. My favorite is Ania / Anya (I like Ania a little better, prn. AH-nee-a. If they want AHN-ya, then Anya is a better choice.) I also like Hania, but I'd definitely want to use HAH-nee-a. If they don't want to mes with the original pronunciation, I'd pick a different name. And I like Zosia. I'd want to say ZOH-see-uh though, not ZO-sha...
4) Yay, Shakespeare! Boo, Romeo & Juliet. Not a good thing to name twins!! See if you can get her to use them as middle names. Emilia Juliet and Tybalt Romeo? Hermione Juliet and Claudius Romeo? Beatrice Juliet and Lysander Romeo? Helena Juliet and Sebastian Romeo? Viola Juliet and Antony Romeo? Hero Juliet and Edmond Romeo? Cordelia Juliet and Seyton Romeo?
5) Is Irinushka a diminutive of Irina? Ira is alright, but I'm used to it on a boy. Medea is just plain awesome :P Clélie is alright/interesting.
