hi,

i love this one Romanian name (i am Romanian)...

Mircea.

here's the problem.. although i like the way it's spelled, it's pronounced 'Meer-cha,' which is the part of the name i value more.

so i'm curious for suggestions on how to i suppose 'Anglicise' the spelling of the name to reflect the pronunciation. because as it would look like now, he'd be called 'Mercy-a' for the rest of his life (if i were to name a child this). i tried a little, but they all looked too bizarre and made-up, too 'yunikk' if you know what i mean. ;)

anyway, thanks!

I actually really like Mercia pronounced the way it's spelt. But anyway, you could try Mircha, it'll probably still confuse a few people but I reckon you could get away with it.

Or maybe Miercha.
