I made it up, it's pronounced Vlah-nah-tschee-ah.
It sounds Russian to me, but I don't know. What do you think?

I'm sorry, I actually figured most would subconsciously pronounce it with a tsch.

It's..interesting. Does sound very Russian, like a female form of Vladimir.

I'd be pronouncing it Vlah-nah-ti-ah, which is probably how anyone else would pronounce it too. So if you're happy with that, goodo. English speakers don't like tsch sounds and you don't want your littlie to have to explain and have her correct pronounciation ignored for the rest of her life. That'll get frustrating.

I don't like made up names, although it does sound Russian. I think no one will know how to pronounce it and it would be a hard name for a child to be stuck with.

this is for a baby? everyone will pronounce it wrong and the kid will never get out of kindergarten because it's so hard to spell. it doesn't sound Russian, it sounds made up.

how in the world do you expect this poor child to spell his name in kindergarten? how do you expect any one to spell it? i think it will be cruel to make a person have to explain their name every time it comes up. can you imagine the problems he will have with adult situations such as a simple power bill much less creditors? i would rethink it if i were you, at least to something a little simpler. it doesn't have to be simpler in meaning, just sound and spelling.

Uck! Awful! It's like some venerial problem... If you like the Russian feel go with Nadia, Nada, Natalia (my friends name) Breggit etc.

Yes, it sounds some what russian but I don't like it. Is is male or female. How about vladimir or nadia if you like russian names.

it is pretty and unique, but remember that your child will be the one carrying the name. it gets kind of annoying having to pronounce your name for every teacher or kid. if you think its fine, then i guess it is. ultimately, its up to you.

If it requires a phonetic breakdown, then it's probably a bit too much. Back to the drawing board, sir.
