learn_russianI'm just beginning to learn Russian.. I mean, I haven't even really gotten to the most basic grammar stuff.. just learning Cyrllic and some vocabularly. I've been transliterating the names of famous Russians back and forth from Cyrllic to English for fun, stuff like that. One thing I'm curious about, though, is when writing a letter or anything in Russian- how would I transliterate my name (Derrick Jason Stuart) into Russian Cyrllic?
This is my attempt- please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks for your help.

Only Джордж left undecifhered, though to my Russian eye he's the simplest :)

Date: 2004-07-16 02:40 am (UTC)Even if you want to transliterate Jezabel, it's Джезабел (unless you mean the Bibleical name, then it's Иезавель which came to Russian from Greek).

Date: 2004-07-16 03:51 am (UTC)Greek or Biblical names should be read and written in their Greek or Jewish pronounciation:
Ясон (Jason), Иешуа (Joshua), Руфь (Ruth), Samuel (Самуил), Jacob (Иаков), Michael (Михаил).
If these names are used as English, they should be read and written only in the following way:
Джейсон (Jason), Джошуа (Joshua), Рут (Ruth, the same spelling as for root, but u: sound is shortened), Сэмюэл (Samuel), Джейкоб (Jacob), Майкл (Michael).
For example, some names:
Джейсон Филипс (Jason Philips)
Джошуа Слокам (Joshua Slocum - the legendary traveler, who crossed Atlantic Ocean alone)
Сэмюэл Финли Морзе (Samuel Finley Morse - the inventor of modern telegraph and telegraph alphabet)
Майкл Джексон (Michael Jackson - pop music star)
There is also an old grammatical tradition to name the members of English Royal Family in Russian way:
Георг Пятый (George the Fifth) but not Джордж Пятый, Елизавета Вторая (Еlizabeth the Second) but not Элизабет Вторая, Вильгельм /или Вильям/ Завоеватель (William the Conqueror) but not Уильям Завоеватель.
Correct English transcription of historical names is not prohibited, but looks kinda strange :)
Also, the title of Sir Walther Scott's "Ivanhoe" in 1925'th Russian translation looked like:
Вальтер Скотт - Ивангое. In modern translation it's written properly - Вальтер Скотт - Айвенго.
NB: not Уолтер Скотт, but Вальтер Скотт - in German way.
And your name can also be translated as Дерек Джейсон Стюарт (I don't know exactly whether Derrick and Derek is one name or different).
Also note, that Stuart and Stewart in Russian spelled and pronounced Стюарт. Russian ю in most of cases is very close phonetically to ew in stew

Date: 2004-07-16 05:26 am (UTC)Mick Jagger now transliterates as Мик Джаггер, though back in 1970s it was Мик Джеггер :)
Мик Джеггер
Date: 2004-07-16 06:15 am (UTC)even if it was Мик ДжЕггер in 1070s
several years ago we(russians) pronounced Ким БесиндЖер(Kim Basinger), and it was wright. now lots of journalists says Ким БесинГер...and i can say than it`s wrong and it even sounds unnaturale
Деррик Джейсон Стюарт is correct
sorry for my English. ;)
