OK, it may be Жеклин, Жэклин or even Джеклин, but I'm sure that the most part of Russians like Жаклин (и is stressed, btw) far more than others :)Quote:

That's not what the hard or soft sign do. A hard sign can only appear with a consonant in front and a vowel after.Quote:

I assumed it is a French name, therefore French-like pronounciation.Quote:

this ъ came from old russian writing , before 1917 . Now russian has very different gramar rules . So this name of newspaper is only expression from old russian gramar.
Жаклин pronounses only this way , not ЖЕклин ор something else , and this name doesn't need Ъ
