Model Name Pronunciation

what about skye stracke?
i guess her name is pronounced as "sky" but her family name...
 
thanks ;)
well if it's german then it must be shtrake :)
 
Yes.

So SCHTRAKE :)

Can't we add here sounds or so :lol:
So it's very difficult
 
There should be an FAQ for this or something ^_^

I'd like to know:
Valentina Zelyaeva
Tanya Dziahileva
Georgina Stojiljkovic (or Stojilkovic as some say-whichever is correct)
Magdalena Frackowiak
Doutzen Kroes (I read in Vogue that it's Dowtzen but she said Dootzen)
Eugenia Volodina (where the emphasis is in "Volodina" and how the "g" in Eugenia is pronounced)
& which vowel gets emphasis in "Roslyakova" and "Kocianova"
 
Jagodzinska > Yah-goh-dshins-kah
Dziahileva > Dya-gih-leh-vah
Stojilkovic > Stoh-ill-koh-vidsh
Frackowiak > Frah-koh-wiahk
Eugenia Volodina > I think the right russian pronounciation is Oi-shen-yah Vol-o-dina

and yes, I'm pretty sure it's Dowtzen Krooz :) No idea about Valentina's last name though :p
 
Oh, I see. Well...there's always something new to learn ^_^ Haha, thanks for the info.
I only assumed it from this vid (@ 0:13)

i just need to clear these up:
Dorothea Barth Jorgensen
Monika 'Jac' Jagaciak
thanks in advance :)
 
Dorothea: Do (like in don't) - row - teh (like in telegraph) - ah Barth (pronounced like Bart from the Simpsons :p) Yor-gen (the g like in great) -sen

Don't know the right pronounciation of Monika's last name though.
 
Snejana
i've always wondered how you say her name. Do you say the "j" part with a "y" sound like you do when you say "Jana", or do you say it as a j sound?
 
^ you say it with a zh sound :)
Snezhana. Zh as in....*draws a blank*
i dont even know :blush: im not strong in english phonetics.
The only word that comes in mind is "genre" that is pronounced as "zhonra"

So Sne-zha-nah :)

I heard her say her name Snejana with "j" as in "jacuzzi" but I think she's just trying to make it easier for other people to pronounce her name. :)
 
^ I think I remember seeing a video of Snejana saying her name (and it had the 'zh' sound) so yeah :)
