jhy-JHNICH-ka ('jh' sounding like zs in Zsa Zsa Gabor), the CH is as in 'church'.Devon

Sorry, as someone who is fluent in Polish I must say that you're wrong.

ADT, perhaps this would be a more accurate/easier guide to pronouncing the word Ksiezniczka (Princess in Polish):kshyen-zhnitch-kha, accented on the second syllable.But it is most definitely NOT a name in Polish (except perhaps for a horse or dog), and I doubt you would want to saddle any real person with it anywayRegards,Rosomaqa

As I wrote, Ksiezniczka (kshyen-zhnitch-kha, accented on the second syllable) is definitely NOT a name in Polish and I doubt you would want to saddle any real person with it anyway.But I just thought of an alternative - similar sounding would be the lovely Russian name Ksenya (you could also spell it Xenia, but it would probably get pron. Zee-nya. It's also used in other EasternEuropean countries.Regards,Rosomaqa
