Help[Opinions] Re: Spelling and Pronunciation Survey
in reply to a message by Lily8
1. List you favorite spellings of KATE-lynn. Your favorite spelling first then the second favorite etc. List at least 5. You can list as many as you want. If you pronounce Caitlin as KAHT-leen and not as KATE-lynn like I do include it but tell me that you pronounce it differently.
Caitlin, Caitlyn, Katelyn, Kaitlin, Kaitlyn
2. Do you think that Khloe looks better than Chloe ? Does it look more authentic, in your opinion ? I had several people tell me that.
I'm not sure if it is authentic or not, but it looks awful and like an attempt to be kre8tyvve with Chloe.
3. List you favorite spellings of Michaela. At least 5. If you pronounce some differently (e.g. Mikaela as MEE-ka-ay-la) let me know.
Michaela, Mikayla...uh. I'm done
4. List you favorite spellings of Hayley. Also at least 5.
Why do we have to list 5?
Hayley, Hailey, Haylee, Haylie, Hailee
5. Do you prefer -ette or -et endings ? (e.g. Juliet/Juliette, Violet/Violette). Are there some exceptions (e.g. you usually dislike -ette endings but Juliette is fine etc) ? How about -bel/-belle endings ?
Depends on the name. I prefer Juliette, but Violette looks awful. I prefer Annabelle, but prefer Isabel.
6. Do you pronounce -line as "leen", "lynn" or "line" ? Are there some exceptions (e.g. Caroline is "line" but Emmeline is "leen" ?)...how do you pronounce Emmeline, Rosaline, Evangeline, Caroline. Also "lina" endings. Is Carolina pr. Caro-leena or Caro-lina etc ?
One again, depends on the name.
Delphine, Evangeline, Emmeline = -leen
Rosaline, Madeline, Caroline = -line
Carolina = Caro-lina
7. If you had to use an alternate spelling of your favorite boy/girl names which one would you choose ?
CUh...Zanthee and Levigh (ugh)
8. How would you spell Kaia ? Kaya, Kaia, Kya etc ? How would you spell Maya ?
I only like Kaia for Kaia. Maia is my favourite but I don't mind Maya and Mya
9. May, Mei or Mae ? Why ?
May looks the nicest to me, but all 3 are fine
10. Are there any names you pronounce differently from anybody else ?
Elodie- I prn. it Ay-lo-dee (the french way) whereas alot, not all, but alot of people seem to say Eh-loh-dee
Are there any names where you actually prefer to use an alternate spelling ?
Only for GP's for the most part I prefer the original spelling. Ethyn for me is a major GP for a gilr, btu i'd never in a million years actually consider using it
Is there any really creative spelling you like ?
Um...Ethyn. Thats it I think.
Caitlin, Caitlyn, Katelyn, Kaitlin, Kaitlyn
