[Opinions] Re: Amythyst
Horrible! How can anyone look at it and not think that the first three letters absolutely have to sound like Amy? And -thy- like 'thy', as in 'will be done'?

If it was unrecognizable to me, I'd read it like "A mythist" before I would "Amy thy(st)"...because the myth part sticks out to me more than Amy. Meth sticks out to me in Amethyst as well.I guess it might make more sense in my accent, because I tend to say Jenny like Ginny (and don't really say Amethyst with an eh sound). She's from the same general area I am.
