[Opinions] WDYTO Syntyche?
Being Ancient Greek, it's pronounced SIN-tə-kee, and means "common fate". I really like its meaning, and the sound interests me, but since I am not the keenest on the spelling, do you think there is a better way to spell Syntyche?

I don't like it, and altering the spelling will only make matters worse. This way, it might be weird and ugly-sounding, but at least it's got a meaning and a history, alter the spelling and you'll just have a random cluster of letters.

However you spell it I think it is still a lost causeStill, like you, I really like the sound. It's very over the top like Psyche, Hero and Echo and maybe more than all of them but I can dream.I would stick with Syntyche despite its very awkward look.

Half dittoI agree that the name is a lost cause, but unlike you, I don't really like the sound. Syntyche looks and sounds like some technical term.

Or a great name for a new computer virus.It does sound a bit technical or even medicinal like Imogen. Maybe that is some of the appeal right there ;)

I think if you spell it any other way, it might look strange and/or unrecognizable as Ancient Greek. I mean, I know it's transliterated, but there is kind of an accepted transliterated spelling after all of these years.You could try:Syntyke (which looks like little tykes or something)
Sintikee (no words for this one..)
Syntiki (like...tiki lounge)...and to be honest, it just keeps getting worse. So, personally...I don't think there's a better spelling for Syntyche. Sorry. =/
