HelpRe: Names in a Finnish band
in reply to a message by KatjaKai
Yes, that's probably a better explanation, except I'd say the vowel sound in Eero is longer than it is in Eric. But then I only know one Eero and he was born and raised in Sweden and may have "swedified" the prn of his name, I don't know?

Yes, It`s longer alright.
I have swedified my name too, nobody can say it the right way anyway. The Finnish way of saying it is harder than the swedish, which sounds more... happy? And it would sound funny in a converstion to speak one language, and then say one word with another pronounciation, especially finnish. Like "bla lalala KATJA lalala". It doesn`t sound nice.

Swedish; katt- (cat) ja. An extra T compared to Finnish.
Your name, Siii - ri (for you americans; Seee -reh, I think), the swedish way.
A Fin would maybe shorten the first i, kinda like in the name Sarah, but with i`s instead. But the r would ofcourse not be prn the English way.
I know I`m rambling.
