Что ж, я слышал три варианта произношения этого имени по-русски.
Алисия
Алишия
Алиша
Первый кажется мне более благозвучным.
Фамилия наверняка звучит Бэммэн или Бэмман.
Если прочесть фамилию по-немецки, тогда она прозвучит как Бамман.
Не Бэммен?Quote:

It's most likely "Бэмман" or "Бамман".
Да, обычно сохранят суффикс -ман (с буквы А, а не Э).Quote:

and my name in Russian would be, Алишия Бэмман or Алишия Бэммен? it is pronounced- UH-LEE-SHAH BEH-MAN , Alicia Bamman.
I'd suggest Алисия, this spelling.
Then it must be Алиша Бэмман.Quote:

(I pronounce my name uh-lee-sh-uh, but alot of people think my name is Ah-lee-see-yah, as you said) Okay, different people have different ways of saying things, and pronouncing. But my name is not Russian, so It would make sense that it sounds slightly different in RussianQuote:

Алиша just looks and suonds quite strange.
We also pronounce Shakespear as Shex-peehr. :mrgreen:
Okay, yes now that I look at Алиша, it does look strange...
Alicia Silverstone = Алисия not Алисия nor АлишаQuote:

So if you're looking for a Russian name that you'd like others to call you, that is pretty close to your real name you could go with Алиса (Alisa) which is also pretty common in the west.
no I am not Jewish, I am a Baptist Christian.Quote:

I am dimitri, димитри. Very common name in Russia I think. Also in belgium you have enough people with the name Dimitri. I am named after a dutch singer :?
дима is the short name I think.
You are right. It's a very common name, used in Russia for a thousand years or so. ;)Quote:

Yes, Dm is hard to pronounce, so in pronunciation a vowel sound was added (in English this is a short I like in the word "dim", "it"). I imagine then this influenced the spelling. Also the name comes from the Greek name Demitrious, and in Church Slavonic it is Дими́трий.Quote:
