Sinopa Nidawi

Post by Sinopa Nidawi »

Since I don't speak sisika or Algonquin I'm not sure of the correct pronunciation. I pronounce it:

Sinopa - See-nope-aa
Nidawi - Nee-daw-wee

My name, Adamina, is a latin base that means daughter of the earth.
It is pronounced Ah-dah-me-nah.
For some reason a few of my friends, that refer to me by this name, like to pronounce it Ay-dah-me-nah...I think it's just to teast me...
Well, my last name, I have to say, is easy to pronouce and I don't really think I have to explain it.
All of you have some really cool names. I love them. They're oh so spiffy, like Quagmire. That is such a great last name. ::heart:: It can be a great first name too.

Ne-bel ('ne:bel) * mist, fog, haze, smoke

Murde-hoffe (mort:hoef) *... urr considering this name was originally for an online fantasy game, I'll decline to define this. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> *

Dusk Sathien

Post by Dusk Sathien »

Mine's quite straightforward, really. Dusk's short for Duskovia but I thought that sounded a bit tacky /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I don't think anyone needs an introduction on how to pronounce Dusk, do they? As for my last name...
Sathien = Say - thee - en /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Love
Dusk
