Help[Facts] Genyusha.
This is the birth name of Polish born, but now American, Punk-rock legend Genya Ravan. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genya_Ravan)
She was born Genyusha Zelkowitz, but nicknamed Goldie by her mother, who wanted to make it easier for Americans, once the family arrived there after World War II. Later though, as Genya writes in her autobiography (Lollipop Lounge, Memoirs Of A Rock And Roll Refugee), she learned Genyusha is the Polish form of Genevieve, which her mother didn't know.
So, where am I going with this? Well, I'm just trying to get it verified, of sorts, that Genyusha is the Polish form of Genevieve and how Genyusha if pronounced, if possible. So, any help would be appreciated. :)
