Re: Jaswinder
in reply to a message by Jessi
I agree. Jaswinder has a very nice sound--I'd probably want to call her Jassie (I have an aquaintance who's Yasimin nn Yassie, and I always thought that was sweet) or Windy! Without a nickname, though, it's still beautiful.The only warning I have is that the average white American would likely look at it and go "made up!" You could also have some severe pronunciation problems from the unwashed masses.Array

hmm.. I didn't think of that. But isn't it pronounced just like it is spelled?*Jessica*

I'm not familiar with the name and am wondering if it is "jas" like the first syllable of Jasper or like the word jazz? And "wind" like to wind a clock? Or like blowing in the wind? I'm coming up with at least four ways to say it... help?

Ami says it almost like "jashwinda" but I'm positive it's just her accent. The correct pro., I have no idea. I say jas-winder myself and nobody in Ami's family has ever corrected me. ::shrugs::
edit: to clarify my pronunciation of Jaswinder - jahss-win-der vs. Ami saying jahsh-win-dah
(Ami and her family are from India, I don't know where 'bouts though)
