Re: Snejana
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
Since in most Slavic languages that use the Latin alphabet, J is pronounced as Y, I don't like this spelling - snay-A-na features a prominent neigh, and sneh-JA-na might be even more horrid.
Snežana is my favourite spelling, I think. Snezhana is nice too.
Odette Snezhana would be nice. Very swan-like.
Snezhana Roshanara!!

Yes, I understand that concern. I have a soft spot for French renderings of Slavic names because they remind me of the aristocrats in Russian novels.
