HelpRe: ideas for nickname
in reply to a message by Mojdeh
Does it need to correspond to an English name?
I wouldn't think it was very hard to say Moja (MO-zhə) or Moji (MO-zhee).
The J sound might come out harder than it probably does in Mojdeh, but if you pronounced it ZH people might pick that up. Especially the Francophones. It would seem natural from Mojdeh, and cute IMO.

Thank you mifrak, I am looking for something easy to pronounce for francophones and anglophones as I live in Montreal. Moja and Moji are hard to pronounce for anglophones. basically I think any thing with j in the middle of the word.

I disagree. Deja-vu, bijou, hijack, Fiji, ajar, major, prejudice, ejaculate, majesty, mojo, rejoice, cajole, thingamajig ....
If you just don't like it, that's okay. :-)

That's true. I am not a native anglophone myself and thought the j in the middle of my name is the problem :D. I very much like Moji as my grandpa used to call me Moji. It always brings up good memories. I will give it a chance, I just always though they cannot say Mojdeh so Moji would be hard too :)
