Help[Opinions] Re: Purposefully mispronounced names
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
Ew! If she wanted to give her child a name that sounds like Chlo she shouldn't spell it like Chloe. That poor girl will have her name mispronounced her whole life.
I don't think I've heard names purposefully mispronounced. I can't think of any right now anyway. I love the name Rhys but only pronounced like 'rice' (or almost like rice, a bit more guttural) and that's the reason it's only a gp. I could never bring myself to use it and then not use the correct pronunciation. Yes, it's too bad it's not pronounced the way I like it, but I'm not going to try to change it.
