Practicing the Cyrillic alphabet
Zabikol:
Hoping for some advise or suggestions from more learned posters on how to write my name in Cyrillic.
My name is Llewellyn and it is not pronounced following the welsh LL rule. To hear an example this TV presenter says Llewellyn the way I would pronounce it about 20 seconds into the clip.

Apparently my name is tough for Ukrainians to wrap their tongues around, Nastja told me her parents re-branded me Leonid or something. And I remember a fair bit of coaching to get her to pronounce it right.
Ladagirl:
I would write it: Лувеллин. (I would pronounce it Лувэллин.) There is no "w" in Russian, you would normally use "v".
It is not a name I have ever heard in Russia.

Do you want it in Russian or Ukrainian? what part of Ukraine does your GF come from.

I guess both would help, she comes from Nikolayev but has lived in Kiev for the last 3 years. Her parents are full on Ukrainian...and hates the fact that she prefers to speak Russian :P
This has made learning Russian/Ukrainian quite a challenge as she keeps swapping between the two depending on what group of friends we are with... and she denies it but I am sure she also mixes words from the two :fighting0004:
Chris:
Olga has already sorted you out with Russian, so here it is in Ukrainian.
