[Opinions] Re: What do you think about the fashion of adding "y", "k", "x" to names to make them sound more unique and exotic?
in reply to a message by Namaide
It doesn't change the sound, in fact; just the appearance. DH's aunt went to Italy and came back proudly with a 'replica' of Michelangelo's David, about eight inches high and made of white, moulded plastic. That, compared to the original, is pretty much how I think of all the y and x names that some people enjoy. Like Auntie and her ornament. (She gave it to us when she moved to another town; we 'lost' it, and she never knew.)
