So being in a very diverse setting with many different nationality and types of accents I have heard about 10 different versions of my name. Who would of thought, in the U.S.because of the spelling I normally here about three different versions of my name. But here the attempts are very interesting…
The first is one of my favorite Andrea’s my roommate from Sweden say my name with lost of coloring the “ch” comes out in a “sh” noise and the “sh” sound at the end of my name is omitted so instead of the original cherish it becomes sherrie with an accented “e”
My all time favorite if from a good friend Sanjiv he is from merosia a country somewhat close to Madagascar in Africa. He speaks creole, which is a sexy language to begin with. So when my name is said by him my name sounds very savvy and French I LOVE IT. Honesty I want record him saying it and use it as my ringtone. The original cherish is said with a French accent cerise with a flipped “r” sound
My new roommate yung wayne is from Singapore she speaks chinease the “ch” sound and “sh” sound is difficult for here to say because they are to close together. Her name for me is very simple and I like it. Although I have never been called this before, it fits. The original cherish becomes S just as if you we saying the letter “s”.
