Help[Opinions] Re: Havyn
in reply to a message by mirfak
I'm okay with y spellings in some names (although they can be a nuisance; I said "no, with a Y" for years until I stopped bothering and let people misspell my nickname).
Word names are different, though...it almost seems disingenuous to me when they're changed? I wonder, why pick a word name if you don't actually like the word? It's like the parents are trying to disconnect sound from meaning, which is a futile endeavor when the sound is recognizable as a word...I don't understand why it'd be worth it, especially since most of the words are already relatively uncommon as names.
