Hi All, Jeff, Thanks for the pointing to Google Translate! I tired a few Russian names - Sikhote-Alin (Сихотэ-Алинь): (http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8D-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%8C) - Isheyevo (Ишеево): (http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%D0%B8%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE) - And my favorite one: El'gygytgyn (Эльгыгытгын): (http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%D0%AD%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B3%D1%8B%D0%B3%D1%8B%D1%82%D0%B3%D1%8B%D0%BD) And I can say that pronunciation is very, very close! Best regards, Sergey
