Help[Opinions] Re: Kynareth
in reply to a message by Ora (hufflepuffer)
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.
