[Opinions] Re: Amythyst
in reply to a message by Manipura
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.
