Help[Opinions] Re: a dilemma with names and nicknames...
in reply to a message by laney
I'm not a big fan of Cadence in the first place, but I'd much rather see that than Kaedence or Kaidence. Neither spelling is out of the realms of possibility (I've seen both before), but they are kreaytif enough that I wouldn't smile if I saw them in the BAs.
If you want to call her Kaede, do so. Nicknames don't have to be spelled like the name itself; I love Cassandra nn Kassy. Cadence nn Kaede is a far sight better than Kaedence nn Kaede, IMO--because Cadence is more than just a name. It's a word. And if you're going to use a name that's also a word, it looks plain ignorant to misspell it.
And unless you have weird family naming dynamics, I don't see why it'd be too close to Kay, particularly if you don't think you'll be anywhere near her.
