Katija Pevec : her name?

how do you pronounce her name?

i think it's like 'kaht-ya. the j is like a y

name:
katija
ka (like "ca" in word "car")
tja (tya again, "a" like in "car")


surname:
pevec
pe ("e" like in word "men")
ve (the same "e" as before)
c (like "zz" in "pizza")

It is quite common name and surname in Croatia and Slovenia, where i live ;)

It's pronounced Ka-Tee-Ya.

I think it is like katy-ja

lol im guessing nobody really knows for sure..except..uhh whoever said someone worked with her..lol
cuz ur gettin all kinds of answers

You *talk* it. We [[live]] it. Your Jealous;; Admit it

I LOVE MYSPACE

I used to dance with her before she moved to California, and back then it was pronounced Ka-tee-ya Pe-vec (both e's are like in men and the c is like in car)

I just only know that Dutch can use IJ as Y

example:
Dirk Kuyt (Kuijt)
or
Ruud van Nistelrooy (van Nistelrooij)

so,
Probably Ka-tii-ya.

OMG I love Myspace too!

I pronounce it "Katija Pevec." How do you pronounce it?

Does anyone know where are her parents from, because in my country, Slovenia, both Katija and Pevec are common names.

My wife is from south poland and said that the sound of the name is common, but not the spelling. They have the same first name.

my cousin spells her name the same way but its pronuced Kat-e-ja.

It's ca-ti-ya, ca- like "car", -ti- like "tip" and simple -ya.
Pe- like "pet", -ve- like "very" and -c like zz in italian (pizza).

All Slavic countries have the name "Katija", but this spelling is the Croatian spelling. In Croatia her name would be pronounced KA-tee-ya, but the stress would be very strongly on the first syllable, and the second two would be pronounced together, barely distinguished. "Pevec" in Croatian is pronounced Pe-vets. The "c" is a "ts" in standard Croatian, just like the end of "hats."

However, if she grew up in America, her family probably pronounces it Pevek.

So as I think about this, the first poster, who used "zz" from "pizza" was basically saying the same thing. Why am I wasting my time and yours? Should I bother to post this?
