smile How to write a czech name?

Hello,

I´m from Czech Republic (small country in the middle of the Europe) and I would like to know how I should write my name in katakana and how it would be pronounced by Japanese.

My name is Eva Žůrková, but I think it could be write without the czech marks just Eva Zurkova. The pronunciation is like this.

Eva -
e like in "red",
v like in "vegas",
a like first vowel in "utterance"

Žůrková/Zurkova -
z like in "genre",
u like is long like in "fool",
r like in "russia",
k like in "kitchen",
o like in "knock",
v same as in the first name,
a is long like in "hi".

I hope it is enough clear, thank you very much. smile

Re: How to write a czech name?

It's really cool to learn that names can be translated from non-English languages into Japanese. Most times, you only hear about English names being translated. It's good to know there are options available for anyone of any language.
