Hello everyone,

I am in need of some help and I am looking for somewone that knows Sanskrit.
I want to know if the name in the picture is correct.

Can anyone tell me what name you read in the picture? I just need to know before I go to the tattoo artist.

Thanks you VERY much in advance

Greetings from Holland

I guess the name is Marin Klekovich, but what is written is (approximate IPA) /mɑːrin̪ kleːkoːʋɦiːc/ (mah-rin clay-ko-vheech).

The first word is probably the best for "Marin", but whether you're happy with "vh" or "v" in the second word is up to you: David Beckham got a tattoo which similarly said "Vhictoria" instead of "Victoria", and there was some fuss about it in the papers. :)

In case you want to change the second word ('vh' to 'v'), alternatives are:

क्लेकोवीच (clay-ko-veech)

क्लेकोविच (clay-ko-vich)
