It looks spongy and horrid.

Stupid, in my opinion.

If you love Nathan, you don't spell it Naphan; that's a hole other name, if you want to call Naphan a name.
It sounds like Nathan after having some teeth knocked out or before he can say his th sounds.

Almost as bad as Anfernee.

It looks like it might be some obscure ancient name, but it also just kind of looks like napalm. Or like the first syllable is "nap".

Maybe Nephan would be better if you wanted a name similar to Nathan but with an F sound, and you could say it was based on Nephele or something. (I was going to say it could be a variant of Nephaniah, but that's not in the database and I was probably thinking of Zephaniah).

Bizarre, and rather worrying as well. How far does her tendency to use ph for th go, I wonder? Phis is not somephing I'd like to phink about.

Nope! Looks like napalm.

They aren't pronounced the same?

Terrible

It sounds like Nathan pronounced with a speech impediment or some accent.

It reminds me of napkin.

It sounds like someone's little sibling couldn't pronounce the 'th' and so inserted 'ph' instead. I don't like it.

When I talk really, really fast some "th" sounds can become "f" sounds (I fink that). I was bought up in London and that's fairly common although I've been trying to stop it as I get older because it is sneered at (oh our glorious class system!)

Naphan sounds like that. It looks awful too.

Confused. Did she know that "th" and "ph" are not pronounced the same?
