To pp - actually with this spelling it's a Bulgarian name, pronounced Ya-sen ("a" as in bag and "e" as in Ben)

I’d hazard a guess at “yayz-n”

MerlotChiantiMontepulicano · 22/11/2020 14:37

Yas-en

InTheLongGrass · 22/11/2020 14:28

Yas-in

Whenwillow · 22/11/2020 14:26

Yah-zen, if I didn't know otherwise (short A)

berrygirlie · 22/11/2020 14:23

Supposedly pronounced Ya-seen

FairNotFair · 22/11/2020 14:23

We know a Yassin - with a short "a"

berrygirlie · 22/11/2020 14:22

Supposedly; "Yasin (also spelled Yassin or Yaseni or Yassine or Yaseen or Jasin or Yacine; Arabic: ياسين‎, IPA: [ˈjɑːsiːn]) is a surname and unisex given name of Arabic origin. The name comes from a chapter (surah) of the Quran called Ya-Sin. It is an epithet of the prophet Muhammad."

TotalBitch · 22/11/2020 14:21

Yah-Sen? Maybe yah-zen? That's without googling obviously!

Kittytheteapot · 22/11/2020 14:20

Yah zen

EasyLifer · 22/11/2020 14:18

Yay sun, rhymes with Jason?

Mumski45 · 22/11/2020 14:18

I have a son whose name is Yasin. We pronounce it as Ya-sin but some people do say Ya-seen

Coldhandscoldheart · 22/11/2020 14:17

First reaction would be like Jason with a Y
But happy to be corrected.

LolaSmiles · 22/11/2020 14:16

Yass-en
It's not a name I've come across.

GreyishDays · 22/11/2020 14:15

Yah s’n

RicStar · 22/11/2020 14:15

I think i would say yaz-en if i just saw it but could also think yah-sen and I wouldn't know which without hearing it.

frustrationcentral · 22/11/2020 14:13

I think I'd say Yay seen, but I've never known one so don't really know!

bloodyhairy · 22/11/2020 14:13

Ya-zin

CherieBabySpliffUp · 22/11/2020 14:12

Yas-in?
The a sound like a in bag.

Knittedfairies · 22/11/2020 14:11

Ya-sen.
