[Opinions] Re: Shyanne?
in reply to a message by peonini
Cheyenne and Shyanne are different names, in my mind. I like how Cheyenne looks, and I think of it as a place-name (after the Wyoming town) ... it's like Dakota. And I say shy-EN, not shy-AN.
Shyanne does look silly, yes, because it looks like "shy Anne." And it forces a yan sound instead of a yen sound.
Sheyenne gets rid of both those problems so it's not silly. It's just a little creative.

Sheyenne is not actually creative ..
If you know that there is a Sheyenne River.
And I have never heard Cheyenne, the tribe, the city or the name, pronounced as Shy-Enn.
