So it's time for me
And in this case - this will be a longer one. It would be no problem if my name was somehow international - like my second or third (well.. don't use all of them anyway. It's just a custom here. Connected with religion and tradition. Not that I am a very religious man anyway...). My second is Michael and third is Peter. And as I said - this would be no problem. But I've got enough luck to have a slavic name as my primary, which is totally intranslationable and very hard to pronounce. At least for foreigners.
In fact my real name is Wojciech.
Yeah. Wonder how dou you pronounce it after a first reading :P
As I said, the name comes from the old slavic language and means "One that is happy to fight". It comes from combining two words "Woj" - that was the slavic word for a warrior and "ciech" - which comes from "cieszyc sie". It's a changed form but still it means "to feel happy".
A, you know - I'm not an expert in that, but anyway it's good to know what your name comes from.
You should pronounce it something like "Voycheh". Hope I cleared things a bit
