I've just been given the name of my 'buddy' for when I start university in a couple of weeks, and I have no idea how to pronounce their name!
It's Sjertsje.
I don't even know if it's male or female, but since it's a childhood studies course, chances are it'll be a girl.

a bit more information
I've just found out it's a Kabbalarian name (you know that religion madonna is involved in?), and that it's a female name. Still can't find out how to say it, though!

There's no such thing as a Kabalarian name . . . it's probably Dutch
. . . however, I know the site you are referring to - the Kabalarians believe that they can tell you everything about yourself - your nature, your destiny etc, from your name (for a fee, of course, lol). To this end they have an enormous list of names to attract people to their site. When I did a Google search that was one of three sites which contained the name Sjertsje, the other two referring to people of that name. It's obviously not a common name!
Looking at the form of the name, as I said in the subject, it's probably Dutch. I would guess at the pronunciation being something like "syertzya", but I could be very wrong - no doubt Menke or Indy (our two main Dutch posters) will be able to tell you.

yes we will (try) lol
sjertsje seems dutch to me too (because of the -tje ending) but because you said something about Kabalarians i was confused
i know that site by the way (www.kabalarians.com) and it can be very alike (and seeming true) but it's crap at the end to me (found it didn't apply for my name at all, although it did for my mother who changed her firstname and according to the site for the benefit)
it is female name (because of the ending) and i know for sure that there is a male Dutch name called Swiert or something alike because of the surname Swierts and Swerts that are Dutch (meaning son of Swiert)
i look it up for you (to see for more)
