i dont see why is should be spelled different because its a last name, i know someone with the last name beater but its spelled beter. last names dont have to be changed because of where you live

.Up&Coming.

There was a topic on this a while ago...

 

I don't think that's what was implied, but I heard Niko scratches his.."bell-itch" if you leave him standing around.

 

Edit: I know a guy with the last name Cox. lol.gif

Well, of course its Bell-itch.

Even I know that c equals itch, and I'm Swiss...

 

Bell-ick sounds just wrong and stupid for an east european name. Reminds me of Bellick from Prison Break.... awwwww, just perfect, now I always have Bellick in my head when I see Niko..

In a way it's more realistic this way. Americans always butcher Eastern European/Russian names, just watch some NHL. biggrin.gif

It's most likely Bellic instead of Bellich because of the reference to "war like" from the Latin "bellum" meaning war and the suffix -ic.

Yep, I live in Ukraine, which is Eastern Europe too. Bell-itch is the right way to pronounce it. And second: NOBODY will ever will use Niko for short of Nikolai. It's Kolya, lol.

It's definetely Bell-itch, got couple of Croatian friends, all their surnames end with "-ic", which is spelled as "-itch". And same goes for Serbia, and Niko is prolly from Serbia.

Spelled, or pronounced?

 

 

Because there's a difference
