Question
can you help me please, as i would really like to know my name, Jack Challis, in Russian and in the Cyrillic alphabet as i want to have it tattooed.  thanks jack".............hello again sorry the sirname is pronounced
Ч-a-lis (sorry i found the best way to describe begginning was using cyrillic letter)

Answer
Hi Jack,

It's just that I thought your name might be pronounced Shah-lee. As you say it is Cha-lis, then the Russian translation of Jack Challis will be Джек Челлис.

Hope that helps,
Natasha
