Help[Opinions] I agree . . .
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
I'd say it's probably a fairly immature way to create a name, but not illiterate.
When I was 13 I was very interested in names (of course) and in linguistics, and I was fascinated with the ways different letters could be arranged to make the same sounds. By using sounds that I knew would work, I created a new name for a character: Cherhys. Basically a combination of Cherie and Rhys, pronounced much like Sharise. I can remember trying to get my mother to guess how it was pronounced! Summyrrh as a bizarre combination name reminds me of my invention of Cherhys.
