Thus "Andy", "Kate", "Paul" become 'Andi', 'KEIt', 'PO-l'. If the vowel letter has slight sound, use "small letter". If the vowel letter is not pronounced, then neglect it. So, "Hepburn" becomes "He^pbA-n" and "Bookkeeper", "Bu^kk I-pA-". And after the vowel word of having short pause like as "Hepburn" and "Bookkeeper", insert '^' when the following consonant is "d", "f", "g", "k", "p", "s", "t". "Bush", "Bunny", "Duke"Īnd there are combination of vowels that are pronounced differently, "au", 'o-'. "a" is pronounced as 'a', 'ei" and sometimes 'o'. And sometimes "y" should be considered as vowel letter. Vowels letter "a", "e", "i", "o", "u" usually have some different sounds. English language incorporate many origins of words, so there seems to be no rule of pronouncing. The first thing to do is rewriting your name sound-wise. The first one is the preferred option, the second one and the third shows the use in case of coupled "consonant"s and where "consonant" comes as the last letter or shows possible english spelling ( a little confusing but I thought it help you somewhat). Some english sounds are shown under the letter . How are we doing it? I will tell you here.
