[quote=Anonymous]DC is named for a beloved relative and has a name that is an ethnic version of a name that has variations in many European languages. Something like Nikolai, or Giulia, or Andrés. DC goes by the ethnic diminutive, e.g. Kolya for Nikolai. DH comes from another ethnicity, DC has his last name. We are starting to think of names for #2. Would you seek another name from the same ethnicity? There is a name I love for boys, that is actually the same in both languages, but the nickname I like for it is the American one. There's a name I love for girls that's the same in both languages, but it's pronounced differently in both languages and the pronunciation I love is the American one. There's another name I love that's pronounced the same, but spelled differently. Can I get away with the American pronunciation? What have other people done?[/quote]
