Help[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.
----- Katelyn, Caitlin, Kaitlin (that's all I like)
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! It would sound more phonetically correct, but it's not atheistically pleasing.
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.
----- Mikayla, Michaela (that's all)
4. List you favorite spellings of Hayley. Also at least 5.
----- Hayley, Haley, Haylie, Haylee, Haleigh
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 ?
----- I think I typically like -et endings, but I don't dislike -ette endings. I would prefer Isabelle over Isabel, but I would like Annabel over Annabelle. (So it would depend 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 ?
----- I would pronounce -line as 'line' in some names, such as Caroline. It would be 'leen' in Emmeline. Rosaline as Rosa-leen, Evange-leen...
7. If you had to use an alternate spelling of your favorite boy/girl names which one would you choose ?
----- Gwenyth (as apposed to Gwyneth)
8. How would you spell Kaia ? Kaya, Kaia, Kya etc ? How would you spell Maya ?
----- Kaia and Maya... but I do like Maya.
9. May, Mei or Mae? Why?
----- Probably May. Just looks the best.
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 really prefer Gwenyth over Gwyneth.
----- Katelyn, Caitlin, Kaitlin (that's all I like)
