HelpRe: Emma'Ryiá
in reply to a message by LMS
Emma'Ryiá - just looks like a mess; Emma-Riah or Emmariah would be better, although I definitely prefer Penelope to those, too
Braylen - sorry to all the Braylens out there, but this always makes me think of the bray of a donkey
Lakelyn - it sounds like a town or a gated community or something; I don't like it
Talon - makes me think of predators and video games, but not in a good way
Gracelyn - I've seen this used; it makes me think of Graceland (and Elvis)
Jarith - looks jarring
Kaliyah - it doesn't bother me; it's pretty
Abigel - it looks like "a big gal" to me, which is weird because I don't think that with Abigail...probably because I'm so used to it
Kaylyn - I don't hate it...I grew up with a Kaylin; I dislike the double-y, though
Evlyn - why not Evelyn? it seems sort of squashed without the extra 'e'.
Gean (m) - I'd prefer Gene or Gian, but I don't particularly like those either
Compound names have always been popular where I live. Adding suffixes like -lyn and -lee is basically a tradition for some people, or at least they're just really familiar with it (so names might seem incomplete to them without a common ending). Or, they mistakenly think it looks more sophisticated...(and there are names like Evelyn and Jocelyn that I like)...could be lots of factors contributing to that trend.
