I forgot about the pan!

Hey, it is just under your mat. Gosh, you have not washed that??? What's this? Damn, this collar!!! You ate my dog!!!!!

it will take on a new life every time you type it.

As long as Polish is concerned, 'copy and paste' does save life...

i love male names which start with D: Daniel, Dawid, Damian, Dominik

my bro's name is Darek (Dariusz) and he's hot just like his sis is hah. want his mobile number? :P

My name is Ewelina but friends and my boy call me Ewi for short. There are some other versions of my name such as Eveline but Polish one is original everywhere I go to foreign country hehe

When I get know my boy who's English with my Polish friend Grzesiu, he was like WTF :D not easy to pronounce huh?

My husband and I are expecting our first child and if it's a boy, we want to name him Andrzej. However, being in the US, few can pronounce the rz. We figure it will probably get pronounced more like Andzej. Is it acceptable to spell the name Andzej or should we be purists and spell the name correctly and have people mispronounce it all the time?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm afraid he will end up being called Andrew....

My friend in Texas named her son Jerzy. Poor kid has his name mispronounced all the time. Mostly, it sounds like jersey and he hates it.

Do your son a favor, name him Andrew and just call him Andrzej at home if you like. It is a very nice name, but too hard to pronounce.

(my legal name is hard to pronounce and my American coworkers and friends "gave" a nick name, luckily a nice one, and it stuck with me for the last 28 years). :)

Wait a minute, wait a minute - you just hit on a VERY sore spot for me. Call me racist but WHY can other people make up names for their children like shayola, raayneesha, vaneesha, etc. (you get what I mean) and if someone DARES mispronounce it, they get a look that kills not to mention DON'T EVER ask Where is that name from! Not to mention that in sports, the announcers will take great pains to get some names right but it seems that if someone has an Eastern European name, it's okay to say it in "American" or give them a nickname! I disagree completely - name you son Andrzej and don't let anyone call him anything but. My husband's name is Radoslaw and he absoutely hates how Americans shorten every name and call him "Rad". Sorry for the ranting but I just had to get this off my chest!

shayola, raayneesha, vaneesha

Lovely. lol.
I've met lots of people with "odd" names like that and even harder to say. However, for us who speak any European language plus English it is easy to pronounce even the weirdest ones. I'm always complemented when i repeat a 'difficult" name. Unfortunately, to an english only speaking person - it's not easy. Americans are all about abbreviation of names and acronyms at work.

And, constant chills thru my spine due to badly said name are hazardous to my health ;)

My maiden name was Biedrzycka. Talk about not being able to pronounce a name.

It is a beautiful name. We named one of our sons Andrew. My wife is not Polish and wouldn't allow Andrzej. Now sometimes I call him Andrzej and he quite likes it.(Actually, I usually call him dziki Andrzej, its a little joke we have, like dziki Andrzej is his crazy alter ego).

My wife is not Polish and wouldn't allow Andrzej.

And she's probably right because it would be hard to pronounce in English. They would say it Ann-dr-zage or something weird and nobody would know how to spell it.
