[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. Kaitlyn, Kaitlin, Katelyn, Caitlyn, Caitlin
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 I think Chloe looks better maybe cos I am more used to it.
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, Makayla, Mikaela, McKayla
4. List you favorite spellings of Hayley. Also at least 5. Hayley, Haley, Hailey, Haylie, Hailee
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 ? Et, Belle or Bel (depends on the name
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 ? Usually line but again, depends on the name. Caroline or caro-leena
7. If you had to use an alternate spelling of your favorite boy/girl names which one would you choose ? Madeleine I would spell as Madelyn
8. How would you spell Kaia ? Kaya, Kaia, Kya etc ? How would you spell Maya ? Kaia and Maia
9. May, Mei or Mae ? Why ? May, its my nanna's middle name
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 prefer Kaitlyn over any other spelling of the name.
