Help[Opinions] Viveka and Vjekoslava
Again, my love for Scandinavian and Eastern Europoean names is taking over. But I'm not sure on how to pronounce either of these two names. I'm pretty sure Viveka is "VIV-ee-kah", but I don't want to be butchering it. The name is Swedish, so I was hoping that someone on the board who speaks Swedish may be able to help me, because I know that there are a few of you. But I haven't a CLUE about Vjekoslava. I'm thinking that it's "vyek-O-SLA-vah", but that's a complete guess. Anybody else know?
Also, does anybody have some suggestions as to other Scandinavian and Eastern European names? I just can't get enough of them!

I'd pronounce Viveka VEE-ke-kah, and Vjekoslava vye-ko-SLAH-vah (At least so it would be pronounced in Russian way). I really like Vjekoslava, and Viveka is nice as well :).
I think you should just look at lists for example here, at BtN.

http://www.foreigndocuments.com/russian_names.html - Russian names
http://www.babynology.com/slavic_babynames.html - slavic names in general

I would pronounce Viveka "VIV-eh-kuh" and Vjekoslava "vyek-o-SLAV-uh".
