Do you ever pronounce the J?

Question

In Spanish I know the letter "J" is pronounced like an "H" but do you ever pronounce the J as you would English. For example what if someones name is Justin or Jordan?

Answer 1

A proper name has to be pronounced and written as closely as it is done in its native form.

Answer 2

Short answer, i think, is no, unless, as chileno implied, one is pronouncing an English name. However, in Spanish class, the Johns will often become Juan, the Josephs will be Jose and a guy that goes by "J-J" who was in my first Spanish class became jota, jota.

Shouldn't be like that... :) - chileno, Jun 14, 2013
