Names; Now isn’t this a touchy topic? Let’s face it, when it comes down to names most of you will have you name pronounced wrong majority of the time. Same goes with my name. For years now, I have not met many people who can pronounce my name correctly. After years and years of mispronunciation, sometimes we just go along with what others call us. Well now I will guide u step by step on how to actually pronounce my name. My name is Sourov. Most of you will pronounce it as SOUR-OV, or even SO-OR-OV, well that is not even close to how my name should be pronounced. My name is pronounced So-H-Ra-abv. Let me break it down even further. You start with a hard “S” sound as in snake. SSSS, followed by the O sound as is OH. You bring the S sound and the OH sound together you get SO. The we follow the SO sound by a aspirated H sound, like a huh sound. So you get So-H(aspirated) then you add the last component of the name which is Ra-bv. What you have here is somewhat of a trill “R” sound like you would have in Spanish. Like what you get in the Spanish word “Pero”. So now you have So-H-RRR. The final component of my name is the ABV sound. Which is self explanatory, where you have the beginning sound in OBVIOUS, but you replace the O with an A, and put slight emphasis on the A sound, like Aabvious. So the final equation of this formula gives you my name. So-H-R-abv |

Can you "translate" your name into IPA? That would be the absolutely best way to convey to us how to say it.
