[Opinions] Luminița
Do you think Luminița would be annoying spelled Luminita but still pronounced as loo-mee-NEE-tsa? And, what would you think if a person named Luminita pronounced it as loo-MIN-ee-tuh?

They both are super cute.
Kind of sounds like illuminate, which is good, because like light up.

Yes, I think it's very counter intuitive. loo-MIN-ee-tuh is a tongue twister.

I would think a person named Luminita pronounced it as loo-MIN-ee-tuh is just fine
and I think in an english speaking place spelling it Luminita but still pronouncing it as loo-mee-NEE-tsa would be totally fine too

Yes, I think it would be best to spell it Luminitsa.I would think that emphasis on the second syllable would be weird/quasi-incorrect.

This, precisely!I love the name (when the third syllable is accented).
