Writer's Block: Repeat After Me...

[zianuray]

How have people pronounced your name? How is it supposed to sound?   <input ... > View other answers

ZiaNuray = ZEE ah noor AY

Zia can be from Zia Pueblo -- (the) sun, acceptance; or Italian -- aunt; or Hebrew -- moving, trembling.  I've been told it is also a Pakistani name, though I've not been able to find a meaning listed for it. 

Nuray is Turkish -- Nur, light, and ay, moon. 

So-- ZiaNuray = Dancer in Moonlight

Zia (only) = Acceptance

The worst version I've heard so far was Zeean  Urrie  -- and I type it with the capitals as shown above, no matter what LJ does to it!
