[Opinions] Re: Jovan or Milan
in reply to a message by Ivana
I would say Jovan jo-VAHN, like Giovanni without the last syllable. Because I really like different version of John, I like Jovan, even if it does sound like a weird spelling and truncation of Giovanni to me.
Milan really is too much like the city. Even though it has its own derivation, people will assume that it's the city and, for the most part, I don't like place names that didn't come from people names.
