[Opinions] Psuche and Lyke
soo-kee and ligh-kee,
opinions?
Sook-kee has a pretty spelling and a nice meaning (living soul/breath/butterfly in ancient greek)
Lyke means she-wolf, or could be from Leuke (lyookee) - meaning bright and light
I love the name Psyche which is the anglicised version of Psuche, sigh-kee, but it has such strong connotations with the word for mind now. also opinions on
Anima a-nee-ma - soul in latin

I think Psuche could work, but she will definately have to correct strangers and aquaintances on pronunciation and spelling. Lyke is too muke like Tyke and Luke and Like to me, but I like the sound. Same with Anima, it is too much like Animal and Anime, but it sounds nice.

At first it looks like the vowels were juxtaposed, and it should be Psyche and Luke. :)I have to say that both are nmsaa. :-/

Anima is beautiful but maybe it would be confused with Amina?Psuche looks odd and I'm afraid people would associate it with Psyche allthesame. What if she got teased "psycho"? I would go with Sukie instead.Lyke is interesting, but might be mispronounced a lot. Are you sure it is pronounced as "lie-keh" in Greek and not as "lee-keh"?"You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.

Looks like suck and like. Or Psycho... Is psuche related etymologically to psyche? Psyche could mean living soul...Britney Tamber

When I first saw it I thought you just switched the "y" and "u" in the names Psyche and Luke.
Personally, I'm not fond of either names. Lyke looks like it should be pronounced "like" and Psuche just looks strange and off-putting to me.
However, I really like Anima.

The spelling of Psuche is interesting but is hard to make out IMO.
I think it is very unique for a name and if you like it - use it. :)Lyke has a nice meanig imo. Very cute.
