Help[Opinions] Re: Laura (again!)
in reply to a message by Alternate spellings
Nope, I don't like that way of spelling names. It looks ridiculously elaborate to me, in most cases -- to the point of being sloppy. (I value 'tidiness' in name spelling .. a quality only I can judge, of course ;-)
I think the only one that benefits from the change a tiny bit is Ryleigh, because Riley is a very butch surname name to me, and the -eigh spelling gives it a tad more grace.
I think the -eigh- part only looks like it should be pronounced "EE" when it is at the end of the name. When it's in the middle, like Victoreigha, it looks like it should be pronounced "AY" to me.
Some other name-tortures, just for kicks:
Audreigh (Audrey)
Caroleigh (Carolee)
Amiteigh (Amity)
Melodeigh (Melody)
Courtneigh (Courtney)
Tiffaneigh (Tiffany)
