Help[Opinions] Re: Sanziana?
in reply to a message by catrin
Well, as an American, I see that as sahn-zee-ah-na (with the emphasis on either ZEE or AH), but I'm not sure if that is correct. It wouldn't be hard to remember in my opinion, I think most people would only need to have the name explained once or twice, but then again I can't speak for everyone. I think it also depends on where you're living. Like where I'm living now there is a large majority of people from foreign countries, so a name that isn't normal isn't a very big deal. Then there's my family, who are from a small town in New York. If you say a name to them that isn't say...Elizabeth or Olivia, they stare at you until you explain it to them (and then they stare more).
If I am pronouncing it the right way, then I think it sounds very nice. If you're worried that people wouldn't be able to pronounce it, you could always use a nickname, or you could use it as a middle name. I really don't think that you'd have too much trouble though. I think you should use the name if you love it, and your daughter will probably appreciate that. It's much better than giving her a name that's generic or that you don't love, just so that other people wont have any trouble with it.
Sorry for the rambling there ^-^. Well good luck to you in whatever you decide!
