Anyway, what's wrong with Aerzia? It's short, snappy and easy to pronounce, well, once you say it with a Russian accent...
I know it's easy to pronounce (with russian accent)... but have you seen these people?
"Ah-er-zi-ah": Seriously? -_- And it's very common that people just can't figure it out, even with me guiding them repeatedly over the name :S
"I-yurrr-zee-a"... maybe I should inform them more clearly that it must be said as a Russian?

Jane isn't normal... Jane is putrid, unoriginal, boring, and puts in my mind "I'm trying to hard to be normal".
Quote:Sae-chotic gets my vote!! Which will get shortened to Sae?? (friendly little name that)
Aerzia will get shortened to Aer or Zia(which is italian for aunty...do you wnat to be called aunty? Or be called a bag of wind??)
Sae-chotic is an insult as a name, hence it wouldn't work very well
Nobody calles me 'Aer', and I'm not sure why. Aer-tating is a perfect descriptor and insult of me, and nobody has the brain to use it IRL :S
I never knew that Zia was auntie in Italian... and my wonderful nieces call me 'Auntie Zia'
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
