Re: Universally Pronounceable Names
in reply to a message by Zina
I grew up in a french and german speaking area (and my family is also part italian and irish). Because of that, I always consider if a name works out in an other language. (e.g. Vincent, Emilia, Alice...) My parents did not, and I always had to explain my FN (Ramona) because it is not really common in french^^ For me, it is clear, that I would not use a name that is very hard to pronounce or contradicts the spoken language where I live.I also have favourites, that I just like in a certain language: e.g. I like Jonathan a lot, but only if it is pronounced the english way and not german or french & I love Alice, but not if it is pronounced the italian way. I think this is normal^^sapere aude!************************************************************please vote my PNL: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/68992
