Thanks, Misty. My husband's name is Yekta...he's muslim and from Turkey although his name is actually farsi apparently. My son's middle name is Yagiz which is pronounced Yuz. Not so much muslim names, but names from a muslim country so thought I'd share. :-)

I know what you mean! I have a hard time with a few of the Turkish sounds as well...that's okay...my husband can't pronounce the th sound very well to this day, so I guess all languages are just hard!!!!
