How to write my name in English? :) Hi everyone! I'm planning to create an YouTube channel, where I will share lessons of Russian. I'd like to use my name in the name of the channel, but I'm not sure how to correctly write it. Full name is Georgiy (Global-pEt-pOt-Rain-Global-shEEp-boY), short name is Gets (Global-pEt-Rain-cUt). Which one looks nicer? Maybe it should be Georgy?

I agree with Sarah.  You don't want people to think of you are the Georgy Porgy of the nursery rhyme nor the character from Roald Dahl.

How should I write my name in English? :)

Hi everyone! I'm planning to create an YouTube channel, where I will share lessons for learning Russian. I'd like to use my name in the name of the channel, but I'm not sure how to write it correctly. My full name is Georgiy (Global-pEt-pOt-Rain-Global-shEEp-boY), and my short name [or: nickname] is Gets (Global-pEt-Rain-cUt). Which one looks better? Maybe it should be Georgy?


I think both will be difficult for non-Russian speakers to pronounce correctly.  For the nickname, I think they'd pronounce it "Gets," as in English (gets).  I think it's better if you spell it Gera, more or less as it's pronounced (geh-rah). I'd go with that.
