Re: Scheherazade - yes/no? Nicknames?
in reply to a message by mustardAndFish
I love Sheherazade! I prefer that spelling because the "c" is unnecessary. My favorite nickname is Zadie.

You don't register it as an incorrect spelling of the typical Scheherazade? I also agree that Sheherazade looks less intimidating to say but some people have said that they see it as an incorrect spelling of the name.
Well, the original Arabic name is Shahrazad. The introduction of the "c" looks like a Germanization.
I agree
