Help[Opinions] Tiphanie
I met a girl in the grocery store with the name Tiphanie.
My husband really wanted to give Nadine the name Tiffany, and I suggested the Tiphanie spelling. I just wasn't sure if it would go over well in the States.
Now, I see it in person! I was kinda excited.
Still, not sure what people think?

It's pretty unusual, but I rather like it. It makes the name Tiffany look a lot prettier and more interesting.

I find Tiffany horrendously dated, and making it look more like Theophania doesn't help. It just looks like another in the long line of kre8iv spellings. I think you did your little girl a big favour.
Off the point, but fun: last year I met a teenage Lynadia!

It honestly looks like a misspelling of Tiffany and not legitimate.

That's pretty cool. I would just stick to Tiffany just to keep it simple.

I first read "timpani". I don't like Tiphanie. It looks trashy.

Sorry to say, I pretty much hate it. :( Nadine, however is lovely!

I thought it was some weird kre8tyv version of Stephanie at first.
It's the ugliest one I've seen in a while.

I really like Tiffany. But I think Tiphanie looks really dumb. It really tarts up the original name and cheapens it.

Good timing with Jan. 6th tomorrow! I've always thought in the back of my mind that if I had a baby girl on the day of the Epiphany, I'd name her Tiffany. (I probably actually wouldn't but I hope someone would, haha.)
Tiphanie is an okay spelling. It actually makes more sense with the origin. I don't see why it wouldn't go over well; she'd just have to spell her name a lot for people.

The States? The home of misspelled names? I remember when there was a post in the Lounge asking about "Stereotypes of Countries", and so many who were not American cited as a common stereotype of the US, "Misspelled names." Tiphanie goes over fine here. I know that it's not technically a misspelling, but rather a foreign form, but since we are so used to misspellings I think it would be seen as one.
I think I like both spellings about equally. I like the name well enough. My youngest sister hates it.

As I said, I really like Tiffany, but there's no getting around the fact it acquired a very downmarket image pretty quickly, and the Tiphanie spelling just highlights that image and dates the name more than it already is.

In that case, best forget it lol.
