Re: Kazakh and Mongolian names

Wow what a cool vacation!Isa (m) is very elegant.
Kölyza (f), Jandana (f), Aizereh (f), Aitana (f) and Gemira (f) are gorgeous.
Tokash (m) - Is this like "toh-kahsh"? Really cute.
Akböbeh (f) - Is the "ö" pronounced with same sort of "uh/u" sound as Kölyza? This name looks harsh to me because of the "Ak-" but I bet it sounds nice when pronounced correctly.ॐ मणिपद्मे हूं

Yes, you've got the pronunciation right on Tokash and Akböbeh :). I thought Akböbeh was a strange name at first, but the girl wearing it was so beautiful and sweet, the name has really grown on me. Similar deal with Kölyza (which more or less rhymes with Elisa, but with a hard Z sound instead of an S and emphasis on the first syllable).
