Help[Opinions] Re: Some names from news story
in reply to a message by Anya Mel’nik or Mel’nyk
The pronunciation really wasn't the issue, it was the stress. Stressing the first syllable sounds just really off to me because I am more familiar with Nicole. And frankly stressed like that in Polish it kept sounding masculine to me, which is why when I kept hearing "is Nikol taking her break?" It was not registering as a name at all. I kept trying to figure out roles at my job that could possibly get abbreviated to Nik-Ol or maybe Ni-Kol and I was coming up empty xD
I'm sure the name can be lovely in other contexts. I'm just personally associating it with this passing moment of frustration.
