What's in a Name? - A little Drabble Do Ya - July 8th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

“It’s not the end of the world, Tovarisch. It just takes some people a little while to get their tongue around it, that’s all.”

“Compared to some of my countrymen, I have a name which is ridiculously easy to pronounce. I can accept her stressing the wrong syllable, I’m used to that from you, but how could she get it that wrong? I dread to imagine how badly she would have mangled Nikovitch.”

“Give her a break, she’s new here.

“How would you take it if she’d called you something like ‘Nappow-leyon Sollow’?”

“Not as badly as you, Eel-eye-yar Kerr-yay-keen.”

Thank you :-D
It was quite difficult trying to make their names sound so wrong.

Funny! He should start making a point of mangling American names, just to make a point.

Haha, I like that idea :-)

Hee hee! Talk about butchering a name. Even the writers got the spelling of Ilya wrong. And Nickovitch? Nice drabble.

Thank you :-)
Nikovitch really winds me up. As everyone knows, it should Nikolayevitch (whichever spelling you prefer).
