8circles Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 In my head, mine is mil-oh-VON-ee, however, the place where I got this name* had an accent over the y so it maybe is better pronounced mil-oh-von-EE. I used to have the accent on the y here at WTM, but it apparently caused something in the PM feature to glitch so I removed it. *I had done a search for the meaning of my given name -- beloved -- and came up with a web page that showed the words for "beloved" in numerous other languages. It said milovany was the Romanian version. I chose that and have been using it ever since, although I've been completely unable to find that same information again, LOL. So hopefully I'm not named after something, well, un-beloved. :D No, the Romanian version would be spelled differently. Spelled with the accent on the 'y' makes it Czech. The accent mark isn't for syllabic stress but it is like a slight lengthening of that syllable. In Czech every word has its stress on the first syllable so it would be pronounced MEELovahneee.

milovany Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thank you for that correction. I bet I exchanged Czech for Romanian in the numerous years since I first did that search. One lovely poster here calls me "Mila" (MEE-la) sometimes, so that fits well. I'd add the accented y back in, but I'm an admin of a social group and some people weren't able to PM me because of it for some reason. I'll try to adjust the pronunciation in my head. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
