HelpRe: Take a whack at this pronunciation........
in reply to a message by asujakin
I'd have to agree. I've seen the "Chinwe" component in a lot of names with African origins so I don't think it's too weird. And I think if one tried pronouncing the name phonetically he/she would probably be pretty close.
And asujakin, how do you pronounce Katharina?

My friend's name is pronounced the same way as your name, but her name is Katerina.

And I can pronounce that name wonderfully! I don't americanize it, I talk good
And I didn't say the name was weird, all I said was that it's long, there's nothing wrong with what I said. And no, I don't americanize everything, alrihgt? And yes, I do respect where names come from. Geese.

that's what I thought
But...
1. I've heard the German pronunciation before.
2. I know you live in Germany so I assumed the German pronunciation.
And that information made all the difference. Without it I would have americanized the pronunciation.
I like how you related it to a German saying Ryan. I completely get your point :)
