in reply to a message by Charlie Blue
I live in the US, so it's not popular. I read it in a book, and it's a friend's last name, and they (the friends) pronounce the name JEN-cin. Do you think that's okay in the US? I understand where you're coming from with that pronounciation, as I worked with a man once whose name was Jens (prn. YENS). Please tell me if I'm blubbering nonsense! :-D

I do know that you're in the US. JEN-cin would be okay, since it sounds a lot, like the original YEN-séhn. I said it outloud a few times, just so I could actually get a feeling of the JEN-cin sound. So as I said, that would be okay.And you're not blubbering nonsens, since I understood it perfectly. :-D
