Phonetic Pronunciation of Name Instructions
Phonetic pronunciation of your name is saying it as it sounds, not as it is written.
For example:
John Barowski (John Ba-ROFF-skee)
Emily Nguyen (Emily WIN)
The steps below are a guide to spelling your name phonetically:
Step One:
Break up your name into parts. For example,
Wolf gang Am a de us Mo zart
Step Two
: Show where the name is stressed, using capital letters. Put a hyphen where needed. For example, WOLF-gang Am-a-DE-us MO-zart.
Step Three
: If your name is very similar to words in English, write it using those familiar words. Emily Lamagna could write, "My name sounds like lasagna". Or, give a phonetic spelling
such as Emily La-Mahn-ya".
