ArchivesSorry but you are all wrong...
in reply to a message by puella_blu
I go by the Russian script for pronouncing the Russian names; it says on the 'Ekaterina' name page that you would pronounce this yeh-kat-er-ee-nah. The 'e' is definately not silent, and it is not eh-kat-er-ee-nah (if it was pronounced this way the 'e' at the beginning of the Russian script would be a backwards captial 'N' instead). Hope this helps!

Sorry but...
I am Bulgarian and Elfstone is Russian, so I dare say we know a little bit more on the matter than you. And I promise you that Ekaterina is pronounced with an e-sound in Bulgarian and Macedonian.
Also, please check the pronunciation guide: http://www.behindthename.com/pronunciation.php The "backwards N" that you are refering to is transcribed as "i" (on this site, and everywhere else), not "e".
