Help[Opinions] Re: Spelling and Pronunciation Survey
in reply to a message by Lily8
Just curious which spellings and pronunciations you prefer...I'll post mine later. When I ask you to list you favorite spellings you'll have to write down at least 5. Write the ones you would actually use in capital letters (e.g. ASHLEY, ASHLEIGH, ASHLIE, Ashlee, Ashlea).
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.
CAITLIN, Caitlyn, Katelyn, Katelynn, Kaitlyn
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.
I don't think it looks particularly authentic, it just looks awful to me
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, sorry I'm done... the rest just make me cringe
4. List you favorite spellings of Hayley. Also at least 5.
HAYLEY by far, Haylee, Haley, Hayleigh, Haylie
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 ?
defintely depends on the name, love both Juliet and Juliette, only like Violet. Usually prefer Belle over Bel
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 ?
Again depends on the name, either Line or Leen. Emmeline = leen ending, Rosaline = line ending, Evangeline = leen ending, Caroline = line ending. With lina endings, it really depends
7. If you had to use an alternate spelling of your favorite boy/girl names which one would you choose ?
Joshuah and Sofie
8. How would you spell Kaia ? Kaya, Kaia, Kya etc ? How would you spell Maya ?
Kaia/Kaya and Maia/Maya
9. May, Mei or Mae ? Why ?
May, it's just traditional and prettier
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 ?
There's probably lots, but I can't think of any that I pronounce differently at the moment. I prefer a few alternative spellings, but not many, e.g Arran over Aaron (because of the isle where I live). There is no really creative spelling I like
