Re: How should I call myself?
Personally, I like the look and sound of "Kirill ". And the "k" sound should be less confusing to other people in your day-to-day life in Ukraine than the "s" sound of "Cyril ".

Thanks!
I liked "Kirill " more before too. But now I now the opinion of person, who uses English more often than me. And now I'm more confident in my choice. I'm using it only in the Internet, because the are no good possibility for me to prictise English in Ukraine. But I'm going to speak English in Canada.Thanks in advice,
Kirill

Can I ask how that is pronounced? It looks nice. But I just cant figure out how to promounce it.

In my dictionary there is transcription of "Cyril " ['sir(e)l] (letter "e" in trascription is turned upside-down)
That's nothing I can say about "Kirill " I can say how to pronounced but I can't write how to pronounce it. But I'll try. I think in english letters it sould be like this "Keereel" And the "r" sound should be pronounced like Russian letter "Ð" In Russian my name is spelled this way: "Êèðèëë"
