conjugating names

[thedevilishone.livejournal.com]

how do you know when to conjugate a name?

example:

фелиша - хорошая девочка.
я пошел с фелишей гулять

when do you do this??

----

also, how do you determine what letters to use in transliterating an english name to russian, example: фелисити, фелиситай, фелиситы.

----

and lastly, how would my name be in russian:
given name: felicia (pronounced fel-ee-sha)
surname: gomez
patronymic name: philip

would it be: фелиша филипевна(филиповна?) гомезова

I'm not sure I understand the question. The examples you provide are correct (well, almost correct:)))

>also, how do you determine what letters to use in transliterating an english name to russian

It's too complex. Each case is quite different. To decide if you transliterate right, I need to know WHAT you transliterate (is it Felicity?)

Felicia Marie Margaret Gomez-Pressley

There are two ways to transliterate this into Russian: more traditional (=more common) and more phonetical (=more modern) --
Traditional: Фелиция Мария Маргарет Гомес-Прессли
Modern: Фелиша Мари Маргарет Гомес-Прессли

I see...thank you very much. I've always been around here and noticed you help everyone out, and when someone challenges you, you set them straight with sarcastic remarks, it's quite funny. I was looking forward to your comment.

Спасибо.

Also, what are the nicknames?
I've heard Felicia can be: Фелочка, etc...

What's that all about? Sorry if I ask too much. I love Russian, I am just trying to perfect it, I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

Well, call it this way if you want :)) A few months ago I was asked by yers, the founder of this community, to maintain it. That's how I see the community maintenance, besides of deleting the silly posts from my fellow Russians of a younger age who just discover that they can write dirty words on the Web and it's so fascinating!!! he-he-he.

Concerning nicknames: what you tried to costruct was kind of a diminitive or familiar form of your name, not a real nickname. Seriously, I don't think I can imagine a familiar form of this name in Russian... well, other than Фела, Фелочка etc. (that's how your Russian friends would have probably called you :))

haha awesome!

i've also heard one of my russian friends call me: Фееша

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

Феша? Фиша? Hmmm... as soon as there is no certain rule in this case, they probably invent their own versions :)

Ohhhh haha, I see.
