Help[Opinions] Re: Aldyth
in reply to a message by Remora L.
I quite like it - but then I guess it is very much my style. The y spelling is charming and elegant, and I wouldn't think Aldith is really common enough for the alternate spelling to be confusing. I think I do prefer that spelling, though I'm not totally sure why, as Edith I prefer with the i. I'd love to see Aldyth used today.
It must have been confusing to have an Elis and an Alice in the family.

Yeah, Elis and Alice are quite similar. But since the Hultin family was Swedish speaking (as far as I know), they pronounced the names a bit differently: in Elis the stress is stronger on the first syllable (EH-lis), whereas in Alice the stress is more or less equal on both syllables or slightly leaning towards the latter syllable (AH(L)-LIS or ah(l)-LIS).
