HelpRe: Nadezhda
in reply to a message by yasmine
I wish I could like Nadezhda. But the "zh" and "d" sounds so close together grate in my ears.
How are you pronouncing it, by the way. I assume most people would say, "nah-DEZH-duh," just the way it's written. I've only ever heard it in Russian, "nah-DYEZH-duh" so I'm curious. (Actually, the "dy" comes out almost like a "j" sound.) It doesn't make any difference in my overall opinion of the name. I'm just curious how people are saying it.
I do love Nadya / Nadia though.
