Hi,
I am posting Callum in Hindi here also.

I am attaching an image that shows how to write Callum in Hindi. I am assuming that it is pronounced like KALUM, where KA is pronounced like ca of cat, LU like lo of love. If not, let me know the correct pronunciation and I will make another post after making the necessary correction.

Thanx for your I help, I did use that link but it did not find me a source of help, it gave me a list of other peoples requests. I did see a source on this website a few days ago but it is so complex I dont think i'll ever get my childrens names translated (callum, phoebe) for a tattoo I am so desperate for.
Any other help greatly appreciated

Thank-you so much I have found the translation of callum which was the correct prounounciation so thank-you. Could you possibly translate my daughters name also phoebe " fee-bee" (pronounciation).

I have already posted how to write Callum in Hindi. Please scroll a little up to see my post.
Let me know how you pronounce Phoebe. Then I will write that also in Hindi.

Hi,
Are you sure that Callum is correct? Somewhere I read that some people pronounce it as cal-lum. Are you not from Scotland?

Here is Phoebe (pronounced feebee) in Hindi:-

Thank-you so much I think you are right about callum i think the second pronounciation would be correct cal-lum, if you could please forward that. You dont know how much it will means to me to have this done, I cannot thank you enough.

Avinash could you please forward cal-lum, sorry I took so long to reply my computer crashed. so i'm not sure if you replied and i lost it. thank-you

Hi,
When you pronounce cal-lum, do you pronounce both 'l' completely or do you pronounce first l for a very short time? Take an example Billy. This is also one name. Here l appears two times just like in Callum. In Billy the two l are pronounced rapidly one after another. Do you pronounce two l in Callum the same way or do you pronounce each l separately?
I am asking these because to write any word in Hindi (script name is Devanagiri), correct pronunciation is important.

Hi,
Here is Callum in Devanagiri script assuming that while pronouncing you pronounce two l sound in quick succession.


Note: If you can email me a recording (e.g. a wave file) by which I can know how Callum is pronounced, then I will be able to tell exactly how it is written in Devanagiri. But, from what I have understood, the attachment here should give you correct answer.

i believe it is the same as billy, it is hard to break it down or give you another example as I cannot think of anything else that sounds like it. I KNOW I'M CHEEKY BUT COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE ME MY NAME TOO. I only ask because I have searched so long to get these translated and fear I may not find someone as helpful as you again.
Many thanks
Emily

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p>Hi,</o:p>
<o:p>I am posting here three ways of writing Callum. The first is pronounced as if there is a single l i.e. like Calum. Here ca is pronounced like ca of cat or, to take another example, ca of calcium. lum is pronounced like lum of alum. So, lu is pronounced like lu of luck.</o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p>In the second, we keep in mind that there are two l and the two are pronounced in quick succession as in Billy. Because of this first l is pronounced for a very short time.</o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p>In the third, we pronounce both l but not in quick succession. In other words we pronounce Cal, then we wait for a second or so and then lum.</o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p>Please choose whichever you want depending on how you pronounce your son's name. I will translate Emily now. Its pronounciation is easy. It is emilee. Right? I will write this in next post. I am sure you would like your husband's name also. </o:p>

tHATS BRILLIANT, i THINK ITS THE SECOND ONE WHICH LOOKS GREAT! Did you post Emily?
My husbands name is Graeme, BUT WOULD PREFER GRAY FOR SHORT AS IN THE COLOUR GREY BUT WITH AN a not an e
any problems get back to me.

I am posting Emily (pronounced emi-lee) in Devanagiri. Some people pronounce it this way. But, as I have found some others pronounce it as em-ilee where i is pronounced like i of ink. If you pronounce the same way, let me know. In this post I am assuming it is emi-lee where mi is pronounced like mi of mister.

Out of the three options, please choose one depending upon how you pronounce your son's name. If you select a wrong one (even though it may look good), then if somebody sees the tattoo and he knows Hindi, then he will pronounce it wrongly.

Yes, just previous to this post

If somebody, who knows Hindi sees the tattoo, how do you want him to pronounce GRAY. Should it be like gra of grass? Or like color grey? Or, may be something else? Please go only by pronunciation and not by spelling. For writing GRAY (or any other name) in Hindi,I only need to know how you pronounce it and not how you spell it.

Does it read from right to left by the way? and do you have a symbol for "AND" like we have a "&" sign?

Also are your numbers different to English one such as 1234567890
so I could do birth dates?
would they change if I linked them together for a birth date such as 20.09.06.
Prounounciation of Graeme is more like gray-em.

Mny thanks

Grey as in the colour - sorry for the delay didn't see your response.
I believe the Callum I have chosen is correct and I thank you for your good work.

I have used Devanagiri script. This is used in Hindi and Sanskrit languages. This script reads left to right. There are some languages like Arabic and Urdu, which you read right to left. But I do not know these.[/quote]

No, there is no such symbol. Some people just use the "+" symbol. If you want, you can use Hindi translation of "AND". As you know, there are various ways you can translate a word from one language into another because of synonyms of a word. But, one Hindi translation of "AND" is pronounced like "evam". Two other common translations are pronounced like "tathaa" and "aur" respectively.


Many Hindi speaking people write the numbers the way they write in English (i.e. 1234567890) even if they are writing Hindi. But, that is just a habit of some. In reality, the symbols of numbers in Hindi are different.

You can keep the symbol dot (.) as in 20.09.06. But just convert 2,0,9 and 6 into Hindi.

I am assuming gray is pronounced like color gray. I am giving here how to write gray in Hindi (not complete gray-em) because, as you mentioned in a previous post, you want shorter name.

Gray in Devanagiri is:-
