Help[Opinions] a dilemma with names and nicknames...
OKay so awhile ago the name Cadence (for a girl) was brought to my attention by someone on this messageboard. I thought it was pretty and sweet but it never really stood out to me. However it has recently came back to haunt me and I have fell in love with it. (pro. KAYD-ence). I also realise this is the classic and proper way of spelling this name.
I love the tales of the otori series and I love the look of the name Kaede. But after doing some research of the pronounciation I realise it is said different from what I said in my head which was KAYD rather than KAY-EH-day. Nevertheless I still love the name and my pronounciation.
So to sum up I love the name Cadence with the nickname Cade. But I don't really like Cade as it is masculine and quite a popular male name in the States I think.
So is it horrible to use Kaedence (rather than Cadence) with the lovely nickname of Kaede?
I also like the more feminine spelling of Kaide for Cade but then the Cadence part would be spelt Kaidence. Is this horrible too? I quite like it as it seems much more feminine and flowery.
Another also is I am quite close to my cousin who is called Kay so are the names to similar ? I don't think I'll be living anywhere near her when I do have a child but does it still matter? I love her dearly but I don't want people thinking I named her after Kay.
So what are your opinions and advice? Please help me - I'm in a very confucing dilemma !
Thanks x
