Hello everyone,

I was wondering how to write this name in hebrew most correctly:
Nikolay Marinov Valkov it is a slavic name. I only know how to write the first part Nikolay - ניקולאי

I don't know if it's right, and I'll appreciate your help! Thanks in advance!

I would probably write it as ניקולאי מרינוב ואלקוב. There are possible variations, but I think that's the best spelling.

Using the letter ע for 'e' is only correct in Yiddish... in Hebrew it's a pure consonant.

And Stacey is much easier: סטייסי :-)

Edit: I see that the 'i' is separated from the 'e' in Chavier, so in that case it would indeed be חוויאר.


Another way to play this game is to look up someone famous in Wikipedia then skip to the Hebrew page.
Such as: https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/חאווייר_ברדם
