HelpBlythe
Blythe is my favorite female name that begins with a B, and is edging his/her way to my top ten. I tend to want to pronounce it NOT with the -dh ending, but with a regular non-phonated -th. Either way is delightful, in truth.

I don't even know what you mean when you speak of a pronunciation difference.
It makes me think of Blythe Danner, and Blythe Danner always makes me think of "1776", which is one of my favorite movies, because she was in it, and so I kind of like it, though I'd never use it.
It's utterly ridiculous as a middle name for a boy. Please don't do that if you ever have a son. I've known people who refuse to divulge their middle names, but I bet my bottom dollar none had as bad a middle name as Blythe for a male.

I think he means ...
That he would pronounce the th like the th in thanks, rather than like the th in this.

Oh. I definitely like it more with the th as in "thanks."
I got to thinking about that once, how the "th" sound is so difficult for foreigners, because only a very few languages other than English have it, and they are fairly obscure, and how it's even more complicated because there's the "th" the way it's pronounced in "thanks" and the "th" the way it's pronounced in "this." My mother-in-law still doesn't pronounce the "th" sound at all, even after sixty years in the US. She says, "tanks" and "tis" instead of "thanks" and "this."

Blythe used to show up quite a bit in my name lists too. I don't know where it's gone.
I do like it, particularly with the pronunciation you're suggesting.
I think I like it best as a middle name, and for a girl. But Blythe Eugenia is kind of badass.
I find these particularly lovely!: (And oh man, Susannah Blythe! Why didn't I think of that. I might have to steal it. I'm sorry not sorry! :D )

It's pretty nice as a middle for these boys too:
Arthur Blythe
Benjamin Blythe
Daniel Blythe
Edmund Blythe
Speaking of Blythe, I just realized I named my potential babies (in a thread further down) Anne and Gilbert. Oops. :)

I am such an L. M. Montgomery fanatic. :)
I think I remember you listing Susannah Blythe before, also. I thought it was one of yours, anyway.
