Help[Opinions] Re: I was reminded of the name Abcde today
in reply to a message by ✧･ﾟ: *Magpie*:･ﾟ✧
I doubt if there would be any alternative spellings! After all, the existing spelling is the whole point, surely? Absidee, Upsidee, Upsidown ...? In fact, it is the only thing I've ever seen in print that makes less sense than your "particular boogie in the furnace with loaves"!
The urge to be original, turned inadvertently toxic.
Abigail is fine: not my thing, but not at all offensive. Same with Sid or Syd. Dee, nn for Deanna, also fine. Just a very unfortunate combination, like putting chocolate sauce on sausage and mash, instead of gravy.

I get what you're saying but while my personal opinion is that the name is horrendus, there are people who like it and especially just for the sound. The sound is fine, I guess, its not terrible sounding and there has been discussion about alternate spellings to retain the sound.
But you can't polish a turd. For me, the name (however it's spelled) will always be connected to The Point - The Point being that it's part of the alphabet. I was just wondering what others thought

Exactly. It's a gimmick turned at least theoretically into a name. Like Nevaeh, but at least Nevaeh is a reversal of an actual name and sounds sort of similar to other names.
