Thread: A few names

After going through what I could find on the board, Net, and translating myself, these are a few names I'm trying to Russianize. I'm mostly skeptical on Dayna (my sister tells me from her middle school Russian class that her name is "Ah-nya").

Code:

Candy канди
Patrick Патрик/Патрикей
Dayna дайна
Randy панди
Ricky пыки
Angelina Ангелина
Lillian лыллиан
Jessica Джессика
Jake/Jacob Яков
Jakie/Jacob Яков
Shyla шайла
Alex Алекс
Jessica джэссика
Anthony Антон/Энтони

Thanks for lookin'!

Do you want to translate these names into Russian or fit Russian analogs to them?

Candy - Кэнди
Patrick - Патрик (rus. Патрикей - VERY obsolete and not in use nowadays)
Dayna - Дайна
Randy - Рэнди
Ricky - Рикки
Angelina - Анджелина (rus. Ангелина)
Lillian - Лиллиан
Jessica - Джессика
Jake/Jacob - Джейк/Джейкоб (rus. Яков)
[s:2dfw5tre]Jakie/Jacob Яков[/s:2dfw5tre]
Shyla - Шайла
Alex - Алекс (rus. Александр/Саша)
[s:2dfw5tre]Jessica - Джессика[/s:2dfw5tre]
Anthony - Энтони (rus. Антон)

По-моему, это имя обычно передается как Шейла.

Оно вроде бы и пишется по-другому: Sheila.

Shyla = Шайла
Sheila = Шила

@Cocos: Russian analogs would be awesome, but my Internet searching led me to think there were none for some of the names mentioned.

@gRomoZeka : appreciate you taking the time.

Yes, her name is Shyla, but is Sheila the Russian equiv?

Thanks.

Not Shyla nor Sheila have Russian equivalents. There was just a bit of confusion among the Russian native speakers regarding how to trasliterate it correctly (Russians are more familiar with the name Sheila, while Shyla sounds strange).

I see. ;]

What's the story behind your name, gRomoZeka?

Gromozeka is a melancholic character created by Soviet SF writer Bulychev. In the popular cartoon he's a big multihanded humanoid creature, in the original books he looked more like an octopus.

Шила сшила шило

I think he needs some Zoloft - gonna look into other episodes, he's quite unique.

There's a version with English subtitles in 7 parts. Part 1:

Thanks! I was also wondering about your name as there's a 2009 title for Gromozeka on IMDb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1273803/ and I didn't know if you had any connection with that project.

FYI gRomoZeka:

there is (there's) / there are = есть...
here is (here's) / here are = вот....

Я думаю, Громозека это знает. Дело в том, что по-русски совершенно нормально звучит "Есть (=существует) версия с английскими субтитрами в семи частях." Думаю, именно это она и хотела сказать. А именно:
There's (=exists) a version with English subtitles in 7 parts. [Here's the] Part 1.

Exactly! Thanks, Olya. I wanted to say "Этот мультфильм есть с английскими субтитрами" (as opposed to the previous version without them).
Still I thank TATY and rockzmom for corrections.

Nope, I didn't even know about that project. This nick is not terribly original, I'm afraid, so you'll probably see it again somewhere.
