"Yikes" Posted by brittbrat 13 February at 06:30
I don't know where you will be raising your children, but if it's in the U.S., plan on a lot of struggle. I'm living in mid-western U.S. and there's no way that would fly here. People can hardly figure out how to pronounce "Dena", let alone Azusa/Wakana etc. I'm sure they are beautiful names and lovely for your heritage, but something simpler would be nice for your child's future in school.

You pronouce it ya - yo - i, with the emphasis on the 'yo' in the middle.
She's lovely by the way - a very good name!

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Yoyoi is my favorite name as well, and it means March. (Of course, we are expecting to have our baby in March!)

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your comment. All of these are Japanese names. I am from Japan, and my husband is from U.S. We would like to give our baby a nice Japanese name, but we are not quite sure if native English speakers can pronounce it. So your opinion really was a big help! BTW, your attempt is pretty close to Japanese pronounciation. Thanks again!
