By Tony Kadlec Published Thursday August 26, 2010 Silver Lake Leader, Silver Lake, Minnesota Pavučina Corner – By Tony Kadlec Published Thursday August 26, 2010 Silver Lake Leader, Silver Lake, Minnesota Pavučina Corner – By Tony Kadlec CZECH NAME DAYS Back in February this column covered the meaning of Czech surnames, that is, the name that your family has carried over the generations and centuries, which your parents do NOT get to pick out for you. This column covers the topic of Czech given (i.e. first) names and the celebration name days. The subject of ‘given names’ seems a fitting topic, as this past week my wife Marata and I celebrated the healthy birth of our third son, Nikolas Vítek Kadlec on the 18th of August. Since my wife and I had chosen to wait to learn our child’s gender until the moment of birth, we effectively doubled our ‘work’ by needing to select a set of names for a girl and another set for a boy. Yet again, the baby girl named Anna Sofia declined the invitation for membership in our family. And so we named our son “Nikolas”, in part as it recalls his mother’s maiden name of Nikolopoulos (Νικολόπουλος), whose roots are in the ancient village of Iklena near Pylos, Peloponnese, Greece. Incidentally, the Czech equivalent for the name ‘Nicholas’ is ‘Mikuláš’. His middle name of “Vítek” is Czech for “life” from the personal name Vít, from Latin Vitus, a derivative of vita ‘life’‐‐and it the name of his earliest known Kadlec (g‐g‐g‐g‐g‐g‐g‐g‐g) grandfather. And coincidentally, the Czech “name day” for Vítek is celebrated on June 15, which is also our wedding anniversary. With these given names, we hope that our third son will have a better chance of gaining a sense of his family’s history, if or when he is ready and willing to do so. Big brothers Theodore and Anton meet their brother Nikolas Vítek Kadlec for the first time. In the Czech Republic, every day of the year is someone's “name day” ("svátek" or "jmeniny" in Czech ‐ the latter is more formal). It is a reason to celebrate, wish the person a ‘Happy Name Day’, and buy a little present, like flowers and a box of chocolates. Remember: Never give anyone an even number of flowers (2, 4, 6...). Such bouquets are used at funerals. The number should be odd (1, 3, 5...). Find out if your name has an equivalent in Czech and what its diminutive version would be. Learn on which days your friends' or family members' names fall and how to wish them a Happy Name Day in Czech!

Please see the Cover Letter for a discussion on fishhooks. Desiderata Drake. Name. Maol Duín Ó Duinn. Name. Submitted as Máel-dúin O’Duinn, the submitter requested a name authentic for 15th C Ireland. As submitted, the name is unregisterable since the byname mixes the English patronymic marker O’ with the Irish patronym Duinn in violation of RfS III.1.a. This can be fixed by changing the marker to the Irish Ó. This change was specifically allowed by the submitter. The given name Máel-dúin is documented to before the 13th C; it is a Middle Irish form of the name inappropriate for use in the 15th C. The Annals of the Four Masters has a Magnus mac Maoile Duin in an entry for 1486. Irish bynames that use mac in this period are typically true patronymics; Magnus’s father almost certainly bore the given name Maol Duin. The normalized Early Modern Irish form of this name is Maol Duín; precedent holds that accents in Gaelic names must either be used consistently or dropped consistently. We have changed the name to Maol_Duín Ó Duinn, a fully Early Modern Irish form appropriate for the 15th C, in order to register it and to fulfill the submitter’s request for authenticity.

Ondřej Molnár for his supportive and patient guidance, as well as to my family and friends for their endless support. Abstract This Master’s thesis aimed at comparing translating of proper names in two Czech translations of The Chronicles of Narnia from the point of view of domestication and foreignization. Domestication and foreignization are global translations strategies dealing with to what degree texts are adjusted to the target culture. One of the challenges related to domestication and foreignization is translation of proper names. In the research, proper names are analyzed via the two translation strategies. The translations used for the analysis were performed by the translators Renata Ferstová and Veronika Volhejnová respectively. Key words domestication, foreignization, naturalization, alienating, translation of proper names, The Chronicles of Narnia Anotace Tato diplomová práce se zabývá komparativní analýzou překladu vlastních jmen ve dvou českých překladech Letopisů Narnie z pohledu domestikace a exotizace. Domestikace a exotizace jsou definovány jako globální překladatelské strategie, které řeší do jaké míry je překlad přizpůsoben cílové kultuře. Jeden z fenoménů, který je zahrnut do problematiky domestikace a exotizace je překlad vlastních jmen.
