How do you say name in Russian?

You write it Название but you say it like Nos-wine-yer. ///// well no it does not sound like "Nos wine yers". Please answer questions you know the answer to. And yes it is название which is pronounced like naz-vohn-ee-ye. But of course it is always best to listen to a recording of how it is pronounced. Google translate can do that. By name it depends on what you are referring to. Like for someones first name, that's called an imya имя. Middle name отчество otchyestva. Last name фамилия familiya. Nazvaniye is for like the title of a song. But of course if you have a pet turtle, it has a название not an имя. don't worry about these words when asking for someones name. (Unless you want a certain name in particular that isn't their imya.) In Russian, you would ask: "what do they call you/what do they call him."

What does 'Da' mean in Russian?
