Help[Opinions] Re: Marishka
in reply to a message by Vesta
As you probably guessed, I find the Marishka spelling really dumb. I, of course, understand that it makes pronounciation easier, but then, name your daughter Sarah, and everyone will know how to say it. If you choose a name from a different culture, at least spell it corectly.
Mariska (spelled correctly) is not that dear to me, either. In Hungary, it would be considered either childinsh (the -ka, -ke endings are diminutive suffixes) or hillbilly. Mária was the top girls name for decades, and thus is really common.
Not to mention that Riska is *the* Hungarian cow name :-)
