Yes, your last name in Cyrillic would be Гжехник, and also you can come across another spelling, Гржехник, which is wrong as you know even better than me, bur there is a tradition in Russian, to transliterate Polish "rz" as "рж", not as just "ж".Originally Posted by Anonymoose
I'm sure many of Russians will be trying to read your name (if they see it in Latin letters) as Гречник.
I think it would be great and even very pleasant, and not at all insulting, of course. We are used that foreigners don't have patronymics, but when the name sounds so much Slavic, it looks very nice and natural. Only remember that we pronounce the name Sławomir with the stress on the last syllable, and your "Russian" patronymic would be Славомирович (which sounds very nice to me, really).Originally Posted by Anonymoose
