[name]Zinaida[/name] (Zin-nay-duh) i think it’s pronounced i read it in a book she was a princess and i love [name]Catherine[/name] with it

[name]Zinaida[/name] is a magical, exotic and beautiful name. It’s the Russian version of [name]Zenaida[/name] so I think it’s pronounced “zee-nah-EE-dah”. I love the French version Zénaïde or “zay-na-EED” too. I would pronounce it more like [name]NYE[/name] than NAY if that makes sense. [name]Zinaida[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] would be a lovely combo!
