[Opinions] Re: Yevgeniy / Evgeni
in reply to a message by Lea M
I prefer Yevgeniy to Evgeni. Apart from being the most accurate transliteration, the delicious "yev-" sound at the beginning is clearer. Besides, the Evgeni spelling makes it look like you are just part of the "Eve" craze (Eva, Evelyn, Evangeline, Evan etc.), especially since you're already planning on using Evzen (as a mn). As a combination, Yevgeniy Vadim is too "v" heavy for me. I'd prefer:Vladislav Yaromir (nn Volodya ? Vlada?)
Miroslav Evzen (nn Miro)
Milan Berislav (nn Miliy Bear?) ;-)
Yevgeniy Konstantin (nn Zhenya!)That's a lot of slavs and mirs under one roof. :-)
