Help[Opinions] Re: Some spelling/pronunciation questions...
in reply to a message by Lily8
+ If you heard the name KAY-lee, how would you spell it?: Kaylee, like the character in Firefly, or Kayleigh, like the awful 80s ballad.
What is your preferred spelling of KAY-lee (list up to three different spellings if you want to, in order). Kaylee looks nicer, imo.
+ If you heard the name KATE-lyn, how would you spell it?: Katelyn.
What is your preferred spelling of KATE-lyn (again up to three spellings if you want to). As above.
+ If you heard the name HAY-lee how would you spell it?: Hayley
What is your preferred spelling of HAY-lee (up to three). As above
+ If you heard the name KAY-lyn how would you spell it?: Kaylyn or maybe Kaylin
What is your preferred spelling of KAY-lyn (up to three). The first one, it's more logical
HALEY - HAY-lee or HAL-lee? HAY-lee, as in Bill Haley
KALEY - KAY-lee or KAL-lee? KAY-lee
KATLYN, KATLYNN - KAT-lyn
How do you pronounce CATELINE?: Catalina would come to mind first if I saw it written down, but I'd guess it was more probably Kate-line
How do you pronounce Caitlin? What about Caitlín?: I'd pronounce them both the same, cat-leen, as the only ones I've ever met have pronounced their name that way (both of them were Irish)
Do you think it's wrong to pronounce Caitlin as KATE-lyn? I'm not keen on it. It seems weird to me to take foreign names and pronounce them differently - Caoimhe is not pronounced Kay-o-me and Aisling is not pronounced Ays-ling, Rainer is not pronounced Rain-er, Bjorn is not pronojunced Ba-jorn, etc., so I don't see why this one should be an exception. But realistically, I'll pronounce someone's name whatever way they want me to say it. :)
What do you think of Cateline?: Don't like it much, it's a confusing spelling.
What do you think of HAY-lee, KATE-lyn, KAY-lee and KAY-lyn? Do you see them as trashy, trendy, cute, strong what is your first impression?: I don't like any of them much, they're too made up for my tastes. Hayley seems very 70s to me, and the others seem very American.
How many people do you know with the names I listed above? How do you see them spelled most often?: I've met one Hayley, and two Caitlins. I've never come across any of the other names.
