[Heb-NACO] How would your Romanize the following word

[Rose Shoshanah Seidman]

True Joan unless you are French and then you put the emphasis on the second syllable juLIET, ie being pronounced as a diphthong

Seems everyone has his/her own idea of the “problem” with this name (or in Aaron’s case, with the whole romanization system).  As you all know, I have my own habit of slavishly following the “rules” as far as possible, in the hope that if everyone else does the same, we’ll all get the same results.  My problem with the name “Juliet” is that there are at least two acceptable English pronunciations of it, JU-lee-et and JUL-yet.  The second sounds “British” to me.  The Hebrew characters can support either. Choose one and make a reference with the other.

It is interesting that it appears that Hebrew-speakers with that name tend to Romanize it, and apparently pronounce it, as it is pronounced in western language, meaning the first letter is a “J”.   We really should be asking what value it is to have a rule that requires making a Romanization that is unintelligible to (non-cataloger) users of our metadata. Hebrew is a living language, and we have rules for dealing with foreign (non-Hebrew)  names more appropriate for Latin or Sumerian.

The problem is that there are two ways to write this name:
ז'ולייט
ג'ולייט
Both forms are Kosher.

Dear Friends,

How would you Romanize the name  - ז'ולייט? Would you a. Z’uliyeṭ or b. Z’uleṭ or c. ?

Thanks,
Haim
