Re: How would you spell these names?
Seeibg that some names end on -yuh, -nuh, I'm not going to attempt English transliterations. I'm a native Dutch speaker and seeing you're preferred pronunciations, for once a Dutch transcription would make sense. Here's what that could look like:1. Kayeh
2. Rihunne (Riünne if you're insistent there should not je an h inbetween)
3. Melië
4. Illi
5. CécinAltering it to be more creative:
1. Kayye
2. Riunnuh
3. Meliye
4. Ieli (if the stress is one the first Sylla le, this would be the way tonwrite it "properly")
5. Césinne (French spelling variations to avoid the last syllable being pronounced nasally)
