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- Prn. KAHT-leen, the rest are KATE-lynn
Katelyn
Caitlyn
Katelynn
Kaitlin
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.
Chloe's more authentic. Khloe just looks tryndee.
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
Mikaela
Micaela
Mikayla
Makayla
4. List you favorite spellings of Hayley. Also at least 5.
Hayley
Hailey
Haley
Haylie
Hailie
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 ?
I prefer -et and -bel, if there's an option. The other endings look like unneccesary ornamentation sometimes. There are a couple names I'm okay with, though, like Antoinette, Odette, and Rosette.
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 ?
Generally, -leen and -leen-ah, but with exceptions such as Caroline.
Emmeline is EHM-a-leen.
Rosaline is ROZ-a-leen.
Evangeline is ev-AN-ge-leen.
Caroline is CARE-oh-line.
Carolina is care-oh-LINE-ah.
7. If you had to use an alternate spelling of your favorite boy/girl names which one would you choose ?
I could probably survive Seraphina and Nathaniel going to Serafina and Nathanael. Alice to Alys would be fine too.
8. How would you spell Kaia ? Kaya, Kaia, Kya etc ? How would you spell Maya ?
Kaja and Maya.
9. May, Mei or Mae ? Why ?
Mei. May and Mae bore me incredibly.
10. Are there any names you pronounce differently from anybody else ? Are there any names where you actually prefer to use an alternate spelling ? Is there any really creative spelling you like ?
I say Rowena as RO-en-ah, like Rowan with an A, instead of row-EE-na.
Caitlin- Prn. KAHT-leen, the rest are KATE-lynn
