Страхн/ Стракхн
I'm filling out a visa for russia, and I was wondering how to transliterarte my surname. In english its Strachan (stra-khan/ stra-hun phonetically) so I went down the straight Страхн/ Стракхн route, but it would be nice for some of you guy to see if it sounds o.k. My first names Andrew so I thought I'd go for Андрей.
One day I might get to Астрахань!
:-)
Стракхн is bad. The combination -кхн is impossible.Quote:

Thanks that was another way I didn'y think of
Страхан

I just googled Страхан and your right there's Gordan Strachan the manager of Celtic football club in Scotland and his name is transliterated as Страхан!
:D
Шейн/Шэйн О'Нил, Эндрю КеллиQuote:

hugh
loads of questions today!
I wouldn't put patronymics on your visa if it isn't really part of your name. Then your visa won't match your passport and the border guards will make much money off of you.
However, just for fun, here is my take on these weird patronymics:
Андрейвич
Брианович
Хьюевич
Thanks everyone for help!
Best of luck
:D

Если от "Андрей" -- то "Андреевич" (but it's quite normal...)Quote:
