Help[Opinions] Re: Spelling and Pronunciation Survey
in reply to a message by Lily8
1. List you favorite spellings of KATE-lynn. Your favorite spelling first then the second favorite etc. List at least 5. You can list as many as you want. If you pronounce Caitlin as KAHT-leen and not as KATE-lynn like I do include it but tell me that you pronounce it differently.
CAITLAN, KATELYN, CAITLIN, Kaitlin, Caitlyn
2. Do you think that Khloe looks better than Chloe ? Does it look more authentic, in your opinion ? I had several people tell me that.
No, Khloe looks trendier and made-up.
3. List you favorite spellings of Michaela. At least 5. If you pronounce some differently (e.g. Mikaela as MEE-ka-ay-la) let me know.
MICHAELA, Mikayla, Micaela, Micayla, Michayla
4. List you favorite spellings of Hayley. Also at least 5.
Hailey, Hayley, Haley, Hayleigh, Haileigh
5. Do you prefer -ette or -et endings ? (e.g. Juliet/Juliette, Violet/Violette). Are there some exceptions (e.g. you usually dislike -ette endings but Juliette is fine etc) ? How about -bel/-belle endings ?
I prefer -et endings, -ette seems unessecary. I like both bel and belle endings, however.
6. Do you pronounce -line as "leen", "lynn" or "line" ? Are there some exceptions (e.g. Caroline is "line" but Emmeline is "leen" ?)...how do you pronounce Emmeline, Rosaline, Evangeline, Caroline. Also "lina" endings. Is Carolina pr. Caro-leena or Caro-lina etc ?
-line is "LINE", except Evangeline, I pronounce it "LINE" and "LEEN".
7. If you had to use an alternate spelling of your favorite boy/girl names which one would you choose ?
Gwenevere (Guinevere)
8. How would you spell Kaia ? Kaya, Kaia, Kya etc ? How would you spell Maya ?
Kaya and Maya
9. May, Mei or Mae ? Why ?
May or Mae depending on the FN/MN.
10. Are there any names you pronounce differently from anybody else ? Are there any names where you actually prefer to use an alternate spelling ? Is there any really creative spelling you like ?
I pronounce Isolde ee-SOLD instead of ee-SOLD-ah. Caitlan is really the only creative spelling I like.
CAITLAN, KATELYN, CAITLIN, Kaitlin, Caitlyn
