Dobrogost

Doh - bro - ghost?

I am besotted with this name. Dobrogost is beautifully interesting and rough, with a fantasy feel.

I don't like this name at all. It feels awkward to pronounce, and it's really harsh sounding and ugly.

Maybe this name would fly in Eastern Europe, but I would even counsel an immigrant with this name to consider changing it to something "related" but more pleasant to the anglophone ear! Maybe Dobbes? Or Brock? Or Gus? Or go with the meaning, "good guest": Boninvitée (pronounced: boh-neen-vee-tay), in French for example.

Sure, all names have to sound good for the anglophones of the world! *Rolls eyes*
If you move to Scandinavia, what if you change your name to something that sounds "pleasant" to us? Lena or Anna, perhaps? Wouldn't that be nice?
No, I didn't think so...
