Ksiezniczka? It's Polish, and was a name in a book that I read quite a while ago. I never actually worked out the pronunciation, though.Shannon

Hehe . . .Try it one syllable at a time! You'll get it eventually.Polish names are tough. My friend calls himself Chris because no-one (except names nerd me) can pronounce his real, Polish name, Krzysztof. It's pronounced something like "choohzchoff"!

Yeah, they are hard. I should be better at it, though, since my great-grandmother is Polish (her maiden name is Dzuibczynski) and, when I was little, I even knew a few Polish songs!Shannon
