Help[Opinions] Kynareth
I've liked this name for a while and coming across it in the user-submitted database (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/kynareth) I was reminded how much I love it.
Do you guys think it's usable though, or is it too strange? Any combo ideas come to mind?

Yeah, it's usable, not too strange! Arwen is no less strange.
I like the TH ending and the AR spelling much more than I like Kineret / Kinneret, which makes me think of spiders and their spinnerets. EW.

I hadn't even thought of the spider association! Makes me like Kynareth over Kinneret even more lol

I actually really like the sound. I don't see it as too unusual, in this world of kreatyve spellings of everything.

ngl I'm not a fan of most creative spellings but I was hoping their popularity made Kynareth a bit less unusual :P

I like it! I don't know how usable it is but I definitely like it. I could see it as a plausible middle name, or a first name with a shorter nickname.

Awesome :) I do like the idea of Kyne as a nn.

I like the sound, and I don't think it's totally unusable. I do prefer the name it's based on more, though - Kinneret - which I think is amazing.

I like Kineret too
also listed is the super cool word not name, (but when has that stopped anyone! haha) Kinnor which sounds more like a boy's name to me - prn. kin-OR?
Kynareth looks cooler, though. I also like the "th" sound on the end. Like Gareth over Garrett. So Kynareth would probably get my vote based on the sound and spelling. Kyn isn't a bad nn either (but I wouldn't use Kyne because it's too much like kine - the OE plural for cows!)
The only real obstacle I see to it is possible pronunciation confusion. I want to prn. it KIN-uhr-eth, but I can also see others wanting to say kin-AHR-uth or even KINE-uh-reth or kine-AHR-eth. haha so many ways to mispronounce things!

But would many people know that about Kyne? I admit I didn't until I added Kyne here.
And I didn't think of the mispronunciation problems... hm.
