Help[Opinions] I could never do that
in reply to a message by Norah Namenerd
I would be muttering to myself the whole time about how stupid people are because I know there would be spellings that I assume were meant to be pronounced one way, but phonetically wouldn't be. Like the person I heard whose name was Haley, but it was spelled Halley... ummm, no. Or the girl who took our order at Arby's a few days ago was named Kyndra, but she was getting called Kendra. Yaarg.

Kyndra sounds like Kendra to me. I can't think of any instance where "kyn" wouldn't sound like "ken/kin" actually

To me ken and kin don't sound the same, at least at the beginning of a name. Kin is much more nasally.

Ok, I thought you were going for KINE-dra or something. I went to school with a lot of Kendras but in my area there's not such a pronounced difference between 'in' and 'en' so they all sounded about like "Kindra" - though less nasally than you probably imagine

Yes, I see you're from southern IL. So I can imagine the accent difference now. :)
