Кершё and Кершo are pronounced exactly the same since Ш is always hard, therefore Ё has no palatising or jotating effect, and becomes O.
ang12el - Russian О sounds very very much like the aw in Kershaw, but without the w at the end. But is a very good aproximation. English f
olk is very different. Compare (English Received Pronunciation) f
olk with t
orn. They are clearly different sounds, and the second one is close to Russian O.
As for W. W is the semivowel realting to the oo sound (t
oo, sh
oe, d
o), so in Russian they use the full vowel version У.
So your name = Кершо or Кершоу. I;d say the first sounds more like Kershaw to me.
Спасибо каждый - Thanks each - but even more gramatically incorrect then that sounds in English.
